Where to get a decat made for 1.2?

[matt|H]

As the group buy never happened and I don't fancy chopping up a cat, where could I go to get one made up? I'm not sure if I could go to any sort of performance garage or if I need an exhaust specialist?

I'm near Guildford if that helps.

i got mine done at a little garage were my mate works, they jus welded in another bit of pipe were the cat is.

Im near purley if you know were that is and the garage is in coulsdon

So you cut the cat out or did you buy the flange and bolts, etc?

What happened at MOT time though? You can't really 'unweld' it...

Would have thought it's not welded somewhere where the whole thing can't be replaced with a standard cat?

If you weld it to the rest of the exhaust/manifold area though then it's gonna be a bit messy when you take it off... better getting ones that screw on like the cat does. Or am I talking b****cks? Lol.

if u can get a hold of an old cat from the same car, u can chop out that cat weld a piece of of old exhaust in to it, and keep ur original cat for mot time, not that hard to do tbh, 5 min under the car guesstimatin where to cut and an hour or two welding and finishing (i kno it wont be seen but dressin a weld is just my work habit )

its just dawned on me that ull need to drill a hole then weld a suitable nut on to the pipe for ur lambda sensor.

You can have to flanges with the bolt holes in welded on each end the pipe that replaces the cat. Mine has this, makes the job a whole easier when it M.O.T time comes and you need the cat back in.

Previous owner did this on my car by the way, I'm still waiting to have my de-cat pipe made up.
