theoptimist Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 hi guys, I want to take my cat off and wandered id this could be a cheap way of doing things. this is the mid section from 1.8 model would i be able to buy one of the for 30 quid and conect this instead of the cat, and go straight through to the back may need bending slightly.

FridgeFreezer Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I suspect the mounting flange and overall length is different, got a piccy of the TD4 one to compare with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Diameter is normally different on diesel compared to petrol too isnt it? I;d expect this one to be smaller diameter as well as different length and flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 finding this pic i have answered my own question. think i will just have to get the grinder and welder out and insert piece of pipe in place of the cat. Thanks for the responses guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You could get/make a couple of flanges so teh cat becomes a bolt-in for MOT-o-clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 that's a good idea, will need to do that, thanks fridgefreezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggNChips Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If it's a diesel, just 'gut' the cat. The diesel is a pure smoke test for the MOT and so the efficiency of the cat isn't measured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 ah like that idea, that's also a good idea thanks EggNChips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
