after talking to Rhyso, instead of getting a full exhaust system before a remap i think i'll just go for an upgraded downpipe.
does anyone know if i can have a de-cat pipe and still pass an MOT?
what price should i looking to pay for a downpipe and also a decat pipe?
Cheers

Decat = mot failure
-
As said decat will = MOT fail, just get a bigger bore downpipe and a less restrictive cat.
-
ok thanks guys
i was going on this info (but it's 3 years old :undecided:)

I believe the downpipe would normally attach to the cat, but in place of the cat is just a straight-through pipe (decat pipe). You do not require a cat on diesels to pass an MOT.
-
Yeah, thats nonsense.
If a cat was fitted when the car was manufactured then you need it to pass an MOT. Unless through some witchcraft they were able to reduce the emissions to a pass level without one.

a 100cell cat would do the trick.
Some people buy dummy cats off the bay, which look like a cat but are empty inside. It is then down to emissions whether it would pass the test and some actually do!!

Thinking of this on mine also, so far I've come across 2 off the shelf choices. Milltek and THS
The milltek is more expensive and the end is left at 63.5mm which won't fit your oe cat back. They want you to buy their complete system
The THS comes with adaptors to fit your oe cat back or another brand 63.5 system
The oe cat back systems o/d on mine is 55mm
You can get a reducer made to fit the milltek but that adds even more expense. Think i'm gonna try the THS, If I can find one :rolleyes:
Good luck

I have found a company that can do a custom one for 145 fitted, including de-cat :smiley:

a full turbo back exhaust for £145 :huh: I'd be doubting the quality of that.......
Otherwise if its £145 for just the decat then it sounds about right
What company are you using?

Sounds alright; give Pro Speed a ring though; quality of my exhaust was second to none :cool:
