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

Depends on brand of tyres chances are you can get a new one for that 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)

Not on a diesel they ain't. 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.

Have I not read that if a car had a cat when new it must have one fitted? Or is that just petrols?

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

Right guys, I've phoned around garages and most say de-cat isn't the best when it comes to legal side. 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

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?
