you dont need to tell me about the pain thats involved in owning an s car , i had a cat back stainless fitted this yr as it was only £50 dearer than the audi backbox,
can i get away with telling the garage its a 91 driver
how much is a cat

I think its all cars post 93 are meant to have cats, and be checked for emmision ratings, although i could be mistaken. Just had a look on GSF and the only parts i can find are these.

21330   SHORT PIPE 54.5mm    G2 1.6 Carb (With Catalyst) 8/88 >10/91    Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£4.75

21241   EXHAUST DOWN PIPE    G2 1.6 Carb 8/83 >10/91    Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£24.50

Seems a bit cheap really and i always thought the cat was the centre section

it's K - reg onwards that need a cat..they started august? 1992 so yours should be ok

My J-reg 91 1.6 Driver hasnt got a cat!
Im pretty sure the cat was fitted on K- plate upwards?!
Could be wrong!

Cat only required on vehicles registered on or after 1st August 1992.
