What the benifits of not having a cat? i've got a 1.4 8v with a cat back remus stright thru middle section and a peco 4" backbox will i benifit from losing the cat?

I found my throttle more responsive. It makes the noise alot more raspy also which makes mine sound like a little rally car lol

 

[Corsa_Sri]

what did you use did you just cut a bit of stainless steel?
i herd it will fail the mot?

 

[Corsa_Sri]

anyone else decat?

 

[jt999]

pretty sure its an mot failure mate!

 

[AdHeath1989]

i havent done it but i know that without your cat you will fail the MOT on the emissions section. So if you do go decat then you will need to be able to put your cat back on when it comes to your MOT mate. Not sure about benefits though, but there must be some or people wouldnt do it because of the hassle.

If a car is below 94 it doesnt need a cat

 

[jt999]

isnt urs 94 tho? mine is

 

[corsa_power]

It will fail the MOT. Yep i used a piece of stainless tubing and cut the cat out with an angle grinder, and then welded the piece in! i like it but for MOT time i have a spare pipe with a cat in

Full De-cat systems will improve throttle response and release more bhp, but it will fail an MOT emissions tests. Oh and IIRC its after March 1993 that all cars must have a cat.

 

[dearing5]

it would make a difference but buy a cat bypass pipe on ebay for £60 then keep your original cat for mots

NOISE :laugh:

 

[jim610]

iv got no cat an the throttle response is much better an mine not an mot failure

 

[dearing5]

You have already said you have got a cat back system, to be fair I would just stick with that as the few bhp you will gain from de-cating is not worth the hassel IMO. Especially since police can now do roadside emissions checks.
