how easy to change DP yearly for MOT?
« on: 19 October 2012, 19:33 »
as above, and legal issues aside.

looking at getting the toyosport DP/decat. how easy is it swop over once a year for the MOT?

my main concern would be the turbo studs.

im running an AGU so only one lambda to worry about.

at £90 it would be rude not to!

Check out Hurdys old ED30 project thread

He had something knocked up whereby he could remove the cat himself. Think he had a system of clamps holding it in place

EDIT - its not in his project thread but he definitely did something along those lines

I was just about to suggest something along those lines.

If I were to purchase a sports cat. Magnaflow etc. How restrictive are they compared to a decat? ( stupid question alert)
