De-Cat??
- Thread starter Rodds16v
- Start date
on every newish car you have a catlytic converter (cat) on the exhaust which lowers the emissions . (better for the environmemt)
anyway having a decat will stop the restrictions imposed by the cat , giving better exhaust flow , thus being more responsive and producing more power for the car .
if your emissions are too high , you will fail the M.O.T though .

Cheers for that - Is it worth doing? Also how much will it effect the emissions?
several ppl will explain its a very good mod , the freeflow will provide extra power and give a boomier note to the system .
have a word with ppl who have one fitted to their car for gains etc .
you will probably / most defo need to swap around come M.O.T time so it will pass the emissions test .
look here Decat!!!

have one fitted on mine, will definetly give you a small increase in performance, however will make you car about 10 times louder.
you will have to put the cat back on for the MOT (unless you can find a mot tester who will turn a blind eye), easy job though to swap them over.
click the link below to hear mine. it gives a very loud rasp! takes a little time to get used to.

a thirsty one
i had a de cat on my last car a 106gti with custom exhaust it was a bit too loud really as the system had no middle box and on a rolling road i has a few bhp down over my last figures duen to lack of back pressure.
not sure how much diff it would make to a 1.2 but you may find your emissions dash light may come on, you will need to put your cat back on for your mot, once i fit my new exhaust system that comes in a few weeks i may still fit a decat to see how it sounds it is a good bhp/throttle response for the money, with every + there are - though, try and pick upn a second hand one and see how you like it.
