is there.

a de-cat that you can put on and off for m.o.t without welding or cutting ect. ?

 

[happycallis]

What exhaust do you have?

 

[Meek_racing]

I thought all of them could be swapped due to same fittment and length as the normal cat? or is that just 182's?

 

[richy22]

All 172 ones are the same size iirc??

There is no easy way with the 172's though.

I was going to say you can buy an adaptor to be able to use a 182 De-cat pipe but then that doesnt really help as you would need to take the lot off anyway!

 

[LEE_05]

well do they involve much work putting on and takeing off anyway ? my mate works at a garage could get him to to it but done want to be payen much £££ every mot

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a fiddly job on a 172, i'd charge an hour to do it to give you an idea

 

[LEE_05]

is there welding involved ?

You could always get your original cat pipe modified. Mine has been modified (by the previous owner) so it has a joint under the car, basically in the same place where a 182 would have a joint. Makes it a hell of alot easier swapping from decat to cat for M.O.T times.

Edit: You'd also need a custom decat pipe making up as well if you went down this route though.

 

[LEE_05]

would this be a costly thing for a local place to do and how much am a looking at for a custon de-cat.

 

[Jonff]

Not sure how much you'll get charged for modding your cat pipe as it was already done on mine when I bought the car but I paid £75 for a custom decat at ProSpeed.
