does a decat just work?

[Dan Page]

put my standard exahaust on today and found out my original cat is fucked, cut and needs replacing
anyways what i was gonna do is just replace the cat with a yozzasport decat.
Will i just put in on and it works? Or do they have to be remaped or need anything else?
And it deffinately wont loose power.

(The decat will be my only engine mod).

Yep, you just put it on and it works, increases power a little.

An alternative, as your standard cat has gone, is to hollow out your cat, removing all the internals...

Will do basically the same job

my original int fucked, its just the flang on the end has been cut off thanks to prospeed

You'll need a decat then as you say...4 bolts and bish bash bosh..

 

[Dan Page]

are there any other problems that you get with a decat?

after seeing the pics i'm shocked at what has been done to your OE cat, not good!!!

decat will go straight on, no prob

Dan....it varies from car to car if your emissions light comes on...no problem with mine after 20k

i had a decat fitted and ive done 500 miles and all is good on the dash

 

[Nick_R182]

my emisions light came on after a few weeks with a sports cat so it will most probably come on with a decat. You might get lucky though!

A decat will go straight on but you have to bear in mind that it will probably fail an MOT with the decat so you will probably have to buy a CAT on at some point anyway.
