--- Quote from: "Skibum346" ---Doensn't removing the cat have an MOT emmissions implication?  As in the standards are higher... remove the cat and you fail those standards as your vehicle SHOULD have a cat?

No, the regulations do not apply to diesel engined cars. Petrol cars built after 1993 do require a CAT to be fitted.

I am not sure what the emmisions test is on diesels but I think the smoke test is more important. Smoke levels are not effected by the CAT being fitted, thats a particulate filter that only very new and mostly German cars have fitted.

Skibum346:
Ah....  That'll be ANOTHER reason to not have a V8 then.... or should I say three?   :roll:

48 quid & 7 quid p&p. Arived next morning, brill service.

Horness:
No cat, and a defender down pipe fitted - passed MOT on the 1st with flying colours.  Emissions passed fine too.

Just want a side exit now.   :twisted:

Cal:
Do you notice much difference without the cat Horness?
