I have a cat back system taken off my Vectra C 1.9 CDTi SRi 2005 with chrome oval tailpipe for sale if that helps. Not sure how much tho

Yes it would pass without the cat so thats one way out of it

[sdemps]

Your car will definitely pass an MOT without a cat. Mine is off and passed no problem. However i kept my old cat this could easily be welded on to another car if you require it?

taking it back into stealers later as they say there are differant ones so need the code of the exting one , Saying £300 - £600 ish just for the front bit och......

The rattle will be your flexi pipe and not the cat. On mine, it started blowing giving a whoooshing style noise so I ended up having the flexi pipe replaced instead of the whole cat exhaust as the flex had actually come away from some of it. A good welder simply chopped the old flex out and welded in a new piece....good as new!

OR, some people on here have noticed a rattle similar to the one you are having and have done a DIY repair with a large jubilee clamp. LOOK HERE, before you spend loads of ££££'s on the whole cat pipe!

I found out how much a Cat-pipe would be for my ex-1.9 CDTI 120 SRI and they quoted me £480.00 ish plus VAT!!!

GO the DIY route I say mate!

HTH!
