No, because this site would soon have no returning members True it was uncalled for as its down to the OP with what he does to his car.

Not any more, new rules say all cars that left the factory with a cat have to have one at MOT Wrong that is only on Petrols, Diesels are fine. AFAIK the MOT tester has to physically see a cat for an MOT for it to pass Being a 2001 it will have a front manifold mounted cat

I'm aware the performance won't increase but there's always that popping sound isn't there ;)! I reckon i'll play it the pikey way and head down to the breakers yard and get one from a same car and gut it, then i can always keep mine for replacement when my MOT comes right? Just to clarify my CAT is from the Manifold right? so when I goto the breakers yard what do i need to get? many thanks. You need to check as it CAN be in the manifold or it CAN be under the car in the centre pipe it takes 30 seconds maximum to look. If it's in the cat you need to get an aftermarket manifold, as addaz has said the oil filter housing is in the way so you can't just go and get a manifold from one that had the cat under the car. If it's under the car, just get a centre pipe from a car that has it in the manifold and it will automatically de cat it.
