Title: Mot fail and Cat decision
Post by: kingbling83 on 05 April 2011, 18:25: Hello boys and girls, today i had the Mot and it failed on the de cat with emitions and a slack hand brake cable.

Will i notice a massive difference with power if i put the cat back on and get rid of the de cat.

My car is running a ko3s ecu custom remap fmic and loads of other tings

Post by: Wazzzer on 05 April 2011, 18:43: you will notice a difference if you put a standard cat back on, the difference in bore size of the pipes is massive.

If you can find a friendly MOT station or just do as cully says :smiley:

Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 05 April 2011, 22:11: get a sports cat :cool:

may seem a lot of money but the time/hassle it will save in the future plus not running the risk of running a decat will be well worth it
