Lambda sensor isnt affected. Thats the bit that sticks outta the manifold, so takin the cat away wont matter... | |

every car that takes its mot that should have a cat fitted by law will do a full emissions test using computer equipment and they should rpovide you with a print out. | |

a few guys on the primera forum(last car was a primera) had removed the precat and cat from the exhaust and the cars would still pass the emission test. a friendly mot dude is always handy aswell when it comes to not having a cat :D. | |

depends what year your car was made in, if its a corsa then you will fail your emissons test as all corsas need a cat (i think). Some people remove them and put it back for MOT, which you will have to do. | |

After talking to alot of my friends they advised me to remove my cat. convertor saying that after 50-60k on the clock on my car and the low quality unleaded fuel that we get down here,that it almost has lost it's function.They said that after removing it i should expect the car to "breathe" more freely and that it will be more nippyer.Now i can't aford to by some brand name pipes like Supersprint or Remus i just want to replace it with an ordenary exhaust pipe.I asked them what about that lambda sensor thingy that i don't understand really wich measures the flow of the gases and sends a message to the ecu?And they told me that they just dissconect them on hondas and other cars?Whats your profesional opinion guys?Your experience?Will i be able to use unleaded fuel if i remove it?what to do with the lambda sensor?Share your thoughts on this matter,Thanks.:) |
