I have a magnex decat on my 1.6 sport.
revs better
sounds better
and a tad more power.

Nah don't think it will invalidate insurance..they will never check that.
Never even put it back on for mot.....but I know a man...........:lol:

passed emissions last year without cat...but failed this year..

i have a decat pipe on my 1.6 sport, a powerflow one with full powerflow system after the cat,

they welded some flanges onto my cat after cutting it out, i can put that back in easy enough for mot,

i think it invalidates your insurance driving without one??? anyone else know for sure??

my car sounds crap with the cat in, much better without :) also it certainly seems to rev a little better, not much noticable change in power but it picks up a bit faster

just make friends with an MOT tester

I am a pipe welder so I have got the facilities to make my own.
I made two flanges one to come off the manifold and one to connect to the mid box pipe and welded a inch and a quarter pipe to it hey presto 1 custom made pipe. oh and bent pipe to suite.

:thumbs:

may aswell buy one from piper or sumink, dont cost loads! and as saaid above, will gain u about 3bhp! iv got one sat here!

how do u do ure own mate?

You have to cut it if you replace the system or cat as it's only one piece from the factory.
You should gain 3bhp.

Ive got a custom made de cat pipe you do feel the difference well worth doing.

:thumbs:

i had a quick look a while ago and looks like i have to cut the cat out or is there a break in the exhaust somwhere?

on a 1.4 u probably wont notice much difference if any!! if u do get a de-cat pipe make sure u can put the cat back on fairly easy for MOT time!!

I've gotta 1.4 sport and was thinkin about gettin a de-cat pipe. Reason is i got coilovers on and it scrapes real bad. If i do change it will i notice any power increases? :thumbs:
