You'll be fine with an AGU

Benefits = More torque, tiny bit more BHP

Only downside is you'll fail your MOT

cool, i have a nice mot man!!

Lucky you.  Just avoid the nice VOSA van man 

Of course if you had a diesel you wouldn't need to avoid anyone

Not that easy these days, as Rhyso said they are now doing roadside tests as well.

they are only really likely to stop you if your car looks and sounds like its tuned, if your car looks like a normal family hatchback, you are 100% legal and you are behaving then there is less chance of you being stopped as there are if you were attracting attention.

hey a have even seen them stopping cars and measuring the noise levels from the exhaust!!!

[tech1889]

VOSA do random stops so it doesnt matter what kind of car you are driving or how it sounds..

They will ass f*ck you regardless what car you got, not worth it TBH. I'd buy a spare cat, cut the flange ends of and weld a straight through pipe on the same length as cat and switch between the original cat and your straight through pipe depending on your use (track days).

[tech1889]

not the inside of cat out and just use that as decat pipe
