Is this a genuine 182 cat?

Whichever has fuel
They have very expensive metals in them.

Significantly.
the aftermarket cats are made with cheap materials and a mixture of alloys. OE cats are made of much more pure metals.
an OE Honda Accord cat is worth £500+ To the scrap man. You can buy a cheap copy off eBay for £110.

Ah right, I never realised that. I thought they all used the same amounts of platinum etc to achieve the result.
Seems a bit wasteful if you can get the desired results with cheaper alloys though, we could have all been given Trophy dampers from the factory if they'd used cheaper cats

When they were built the scrap value of the materials used was significantly lower.Ah right, I never realised that. I thought they all used the same amounts of platinum etc to achieve the result.

I run an eBay cat and it sailed through its second MoT easy enough. But I’m under no illusions that will become more difficult. I would much prefer some common ground so something that was slightly more expensive but lasted better than the cheep ones. I looked at the KTec cat. But it has a 6 month warranty, which gives you an idea of their complete lack of confidence in their own product.

Hardly confidence inspiring is it! I know what you mean, I had a cheap one fitted for the last MOT and it doesn't look the highest quality in the world. I presume you could get one made up by an exhaust shop, but I'm not sure how long their guarantees would be either. I think I'll just throw the decat back on so I don't wear out the cat before the next MOT
Yeah, I’m with you on that but I am not really a big fan of decat. I would prefer some kind of cat. I’m going to have to address my exhaust at some point. It’s a Ktec thing without a middle resonator. So it’s bloody loud and I’m too old. I’d quite like to get the Pure system with their cat and centre silencer. But the list of things I would like is bloody growing and expensive! Once I get my house extension out of the way I may just drop some big money on all this stuff.

Really?! Sold my whole car for only £2000
A decent K24 is £700+ tooReally?! Sold my whole car for only £2000
Only issue is no fucker wants anything other than the engine or the cat, my mate was stuck with an Accord for donkeys and nobody wanted anything from it

Jetex do some better quality cats, looks like they would make for a good half way house.

I bought a magnaflow universal cat, last year and had it welded to a miltek decat pipe.
The magnaflow has a 25k mile emissions warranty. Not sure on time limits as when I check quickly checked nothing came up quickly.
