if its done on a petrol car itl fail on the mot if the cat is removed,
if you want to de-cat it buy another cat off a breaker/ebay and evict the inside of it put that on on and keep the original for mot times :roll:

I have read it makes the Turbo spool up a lot quicker on an HDI......Dont know about gains on a petrol mate. Luckily my 1990 Cossie does not need one :cheesy:

I was thinking about smashing the internals out of my Cat on my HDI :cheesy:

my old Nissan 200 was bullet proof with 430brake :mrgreen: could thrash it daily and it never let me down, the only internal mods were Wiseco forged pistons, ARP head stud kit and rod bolts and a new oil pump. everything else were bolt mods. i think the reliability came from having Deep Cryogenic Treatment on everything from this guy http://www.frozensolid.co.uk/

but back on subject il be cutting the cat off and welding up a 65mm twin box system when ive got the new engine in.
