#1: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:48 am ---- Hi guys,
Cat is basically falling off but i know they are expensive.
Question is do i get it replaced or decat...
Ive been to loads of suppliers
Best Quote was £200 in cash. Not to sure if thats with the cat though.
But Best Quote With Cat Was £270 Not bad considering:
£350
£375
£400
From other stores.
Wondering how much should i be expecting when paying for for one including cat and not paying for a cat.
Plus is decating a 2.0 litre dturbo a problem, many of these have told me it ends up more expensive and that ill have all sort of problems as ecu will need changing ect.
Second question is:
Part one tyre 195 / 45 / R16 6mm tread... £30?
This good?
Cheers Guys thanks for reading.
Scott

And decats are illegal so dont get caught haha and make sure you have a cat for the mot (new mot rules are you must have a cat to pass)

Scott - you won't need to change your ECU at all. Find your local powerflow dealer and get a whole system including decat for around £200.

Wrong on the de-cat they are not illegal on diesel and will pass the MOT with no problems.
The must have a cat to pass a MOT is only on petrols.

#6: Re: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:31 am ---- Have I not read that if a car had a cat when new it must have one fitted? Or is that just petrols?
#7: Re: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:56 am ---- Just petrols that applies to
#8: Re: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:40 am ---- Check with you local MOT station about the a legality. If legal get a powerflow cat bypass and exhaust system for the same money as a CAT only and sell you current pipe

But sport cat is just as good, and I've been quoted £270 with sports cat and back box! just got to go and see it now, its john ashley exhausts great guy on the phone! check him out
#14: Re: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 8:17 am ---- There is nothing illegal about de-catting a diesel at all.
Did you tell them that you had a diesel or that you just had a Turbo?
#15: Re: Decat? Part Worn Tyres? Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:01 am ---- Yep diesels are completely legal to de-cat, MOT passed everytime on my previous 2.0 hdi which had no cat.
