De cat pipe

[Rideandy]

Hello.
Does any of you have  a DE cat pipe fitted? I am having a bit of trouble with my cat and it looks very expensive to have replaced so thought this might be a good option, plus it throws up the bhp a tad too.

I know it wont get through an mot with out cat fitted  but heard a rumour that it wont cost much to fit, so thought it might be worth it

I have seen a couple on ebay , what do you think?
Cheers
Andy

This can be a grey area.

Your insurance company will gladly take extra premium when you tell them the car has a de-cat...but in the event of an accident, your car is unroadworthy...as it would fail the mot due to emissions....and therefore all cover is cancelled. A guy on the scooby forum had a write off and they refused to pay as the car had a de-cat...although fully declared.

Things might have changed now...but I doubt it.

Ok, will have to have a re think on that one, looks like a new cat for me then.

Do a search for a company called 'The Parts Gateway'. They search a list of breakers that specialise in whatever make you have. You have to join up...it's free...and when a quote comes in they mail it to your e-mail addy.

I've found them really good, and many parts come with a garentee from 28 days to 6 months depending on the company the parts are from.

Sports cats have less fibres in the pipe to allow a better flow, but just enough to pass the MOT. They do tend to be a little more than a regular cat from my experience.

Thanks again.
