what are the laws on decats? Apart from needing to replace the CAT to pass MOT.

All cars past (date ??) should be fitted with a decat.

All mot will do is check emissions.

1st year I had my decat on car still passed emissions at mot. 2nd year it failed but got round it. But if police stop u and check for cat and it;s not there u will be fined...

And Rab I noticed a differece with the decat.
noise,more responsive too.....

I doubt you'd be fined - they'll just issue you with a producer for a new MOT.

wouldnt be properly mapped to your engine.

plus there more of an off-the-shelf chip, unlike unichip where it is mapped to your engine, the superchip is just a generic mapping
