my cat has gone on my mk4 golf so i took it to a garage and they've gave me a price on a cat which they dont come cheap, so thinking of a de-cat pipe does any one no where i can get one made????? and will it still be m.o.t able because of emissions???

MOT will probly fail mate. But I still dont think you can beat Paddy at discount tyres for price, he'll just cut the cat out and weld a straight through piece of tube in I would think for £20 - £30.

Discount Tyres - 01553 617784

There might be ways around passing if the emmitions are not good enough

It'll fail the MOT, custom exhaust place will be able to make you a decat up.

Wont get much gain from it, but itll make your exhaust note louder.

if you take your cat off your ca will NOT pass a mot ..you have to get a friendly mot man to get it throught or have a cat to fit back on for the mot....i known a few to do that fit it back on then remove it and get you link pipe put back on..

any tyre/exhaust place will make you a piece to fit inplace of the cat..its only a simple pipe at end of the day....

discount tyres should help you out..ring them and you find out my cat has gone Icon_geek

i dunno mate but i dont realy wana put one back on, do they save on fuel tho or will a car with a de-cat be slightly more juicer????

Subject: Re: my cat has gone Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:04 am

You'll get worse mpg with a decat.

Subject: Re: my cat has gone Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:10 am

mmmm i dunno then i mite put one back on

Subject: Re: my cat has gone Thu Jun 17, 2010 12:15 pm

If ya still want one making, why not try westy at dockings holt? He'd do it for cheap, he sorted out my exhaust for £50 and that included chopping my decat into several bits, tack welding them in place, checking it all, re-tack welding ect ect and making a bespoke back box mount. Think he wanted £30 to take Aggys middle box out on his pug.

I'd be inclined to agree with others though and say you'd lose mpg and possibly performance with it removed.
