#1: Cheap Decat Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:46 pm ---- Hey Guys, Basically i had problems with exhaust so....
Cat was Apprently unweldedable by all garages i went too,
i had split in middle pipe all the way down and to top it off back box
was a hole where it joined onto pipe.
Cheapest quote after all the week i search was
£210 for decat
£240 for standard
£270 for sports cat
But money got tight this month loosing job so went to the missies mum and dads and got her sister boyfriends mechanic mates to chop cat out give me a centre pipe and weld back box up and seal it with black sealant *** for
£40 This good?
took him half an hour and while he was doing it i took cat in to be weighed and got 72 quid. so i was in pocket WAHEY!
System feels so much better, it accelerates again and pulls like a train in high speed/ gears.
Thoughts?

#4: Re: Cheap Decat Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:55 pm ---- only gets recorded by smoke ( diesel ) so as long as they end ton of **** coming out should be fine if not thats when i will buy new one but few months yet
#5: Re: Cheap Decat Author: MrZiggerz, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:00 pm ---- Thought the new rules where if its supposed to have it, its got to have one present for the MOT? Someone correct me if I am wrong?
#6: Re: Cheap Decat Author: lmilligan, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:07 pm ---- I thought diesels were tested same as petrols
#7: Re: Cheap Decat Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:29 pm ---- Nope Diesels are different from petrols on MOT test. You have to have a pipe that looks like the cat is there. So take the standard cat out and pull the insides out. As long as the emissions arent high then your ok.
An mot tester isnt allowed to get the spanners out and drop the exhaust to have a look inside.
