I doubt it. I think they all had them.

just make one yourself, that what im doing for my RT, get 2 flanges from the scrappy a bit of straight pipe and weld, will cos bout £20 at the most!

 

[Road_Shagger]

my mum had a 1.0 micra, and the cat smelled of egg.

does a 1.2 16v have a cat?

 

[montana]

stick your head under the car and have a look, cant miss it!

 

[Road_Shagger]

what does it look like?

 

[Essex_Lad]

its jus under where the gear lever is! its like a box wit honeycomb effect on the bottom!

 

[Road_Shagger]

if i replace this with a de-cat pipe, what will the outcome be, and will it invalidate warranty/insurance?

 

[Ben P]

outcome should be that your car revs better, may release a coupl of bhp and will probably make the exhaust louder.

Your car wont be road legal without a cat though, so come MOT time you need to put it back on.

 

[Road_Shagger]

why wont it be legal?

 

[Ben P]

all cars after april 1992 had to have a cat fitted. If your car was built after this date it needs one to pass MOT (though there has been debate on this, with some people saying that as long as it passes emissions it doesnt need one, but I am not sure about that)

 

[scottishcruiser]

My old corsa passed its mot and i had a de-cat pipe on it but the weird thing was it failed the emmissions test but stil passed the mot!

Wel they did give me a certificate sayin PASS, oh well who cares its sold now!
