Yes, but the likes of Rimmer Bros make a stainless sports system for the 300 TDi than goes from the Cat back so the cat remains in the system.
The likes of my 1995 300 TDi had a cat fitted but is not of an age where it is required for the MOT on a diesel so when it needed replacing I had the non-cat downpipe fitted. Much cheaper option :D

That's worth knowing. Does that apply to all of 1995 (mine's an M) ?
simondarby:
My 95 300tdi which originally had a cat fitted has now passed 2 MOTs without one. As long as the fuel pump is set right you shouldn't have any problems...
My cat is still in the loft should I ever need it in the future.
I am after a replacement centre section with no silencer at the moment. Normally the middle and rear section are sold as one part with 2 silencers, but I just want to remove the centre box so I end up with a "sports" exhaust system.

I don't know the exact date that the requirement came in, best speak to your local MOT chap and see if he knows but I think it was mid 1995 or something. :?
jnoshea:
August 1995 it seems.
