Get a tdi  :tongue:

They can give you a fine i believe, also if they find you havnt got one then you change it back to get tested then refit the decat and they catch you again they will without a doubt take it further.

lol im too much of a petrol head at the moment, but I definitely will get one in the future! I'll just get a milltek or jetex downpipe and sports car

I used to be a petrol head but now im a torque head which is so much worse! Clutch, Dmf, Tyres......  :lipsrsealed:

Defo run a sports cat OR just speak to a friendly garage that can do a changable cat system, me and a friend done one so it takes 10 minutes to change it road side :cool:

or, smash the insides out of a cat and use that, they dont have roadside emissions (the ones ive seen dont) its just a visual check.

or lower your car so much that they cant peek under, lol

taking it off ad having a look, or doing an emissions test, cos without a cat then theres no way itll pass
