It's alright chaps, got in on a ramp today and had a look underneath. Turns out my cat is making quite a loud whining noise at times, think I could do with a new one. How much is the going rate? Cheers for the input chuff, if I get stuck next time I'll be sure to use that method.

or find a "good" mot centre :evil:

or get a cat from a scrappy or likewise and just put that on for the mot and decat it when you got your 12 months ;)

or if your selling the car soon to get a gti, then mayb just get a new cat would be more sensible :)

Remove the cat and smash the insides then refit, will sound a little hollow but as good as a decat and is what all the German guys do due to regs, will still need to find a cat for the mot however.
