#1: 2.0 hdi cat exhaust setup Author: rlees85, Location: DaventryPosted: Tue Sep 24, 2013 10:51 am ---- Just looking on service box (saves a trip under the car) and found this:
Basically I want to empty my cat box out for tuning/ecu mapping purposes. It looks like the cat section is sold with a huge long pipe on one end and a flexy (delicate) on the other.
But by looking at the picture it looks like I can cut the long pipe off and use an "exhaust sleeve" to re-attach it.
Does anyone have any experience with this??
Any help as always would be appreciated Last edited by rlees85 on Tue Sep 24, 2013 1:38 pm; edited 1 time in total

BUT .. new MOT rules state that if the car had a cat, it must still be fitted.
So one option is to have two pipes: one with, one without, and swap them before and after MOT tests. But if you have any lambda sensors, that may trigger a fault and the engine management light. And that in itself is a fail.
Diesels don't yet have emissions tests that would show up a missing cat ... they just have a smoke test. So the chances of finding out are slim, until they move the goalposts again.

Firstly, thanks Timon for your advice, much appreciated. But I am going to run the risk... The rest of the exhaust is standard and will be retaining the standard rear silencer. This should keep noise within reasonable levels, I hope, and also not knacker the turbo (in-case that rumor is true about no back-pressure).
But I am going to give this a go anyway...
Please do not comment about noise, MOT failures, little gains, etc. I am aware of everything and the main point of this is for my chip tuning experiments I want the red hot gasses around the turbo moving away quicker.
Now ideally has anyone found a way to gut the standard cat? it looks impossible to me as it has the flexi of one side and a decent length of pipe of the other. I would really appreciate to hear from anyone who has managed to do this and how.. !
Second option, I tried to find a straight pipe (and do the swap each MOT time) but again it seems easier to find pixie dust than 206 2.0 hdi de-cats! If anyone knows how to source one again would be appreciated...
Thanks again

I think the 2.0 HDI is different as the CAT has decent lengths of pipe coming off both sides... I just wondered if anyone had successfully managed this on a 2.0 HDI despite this and how... (as knowing will speed my job up a lot if I haven't got to spend ages figuring out how haha)
