My car had it MOT today and passsed with no problems except emmisions, basically the cat is almost dead.
This has now given me the excuse to get a Janspeed 4-2-1 fannymould.
Getting this will mean using an X16XE cat (car is a C16XE).
So do I get a new X16XE cat or do I get a X16XE sports cat.
Normal cat is £100, sports cat is £165.
Are there any pro's and con's as to which to get?
Which one wuld be better?
Discuss please.
Thankyou.

A normal cat and a secondhand decat would be the same price as a sports cat.
I could use that method, just have to remember to fit the new cat come MOT time next year.

I had a knocked out cat for on-road purposes because police around my area are bad for stopping cars and checking exhausts.

Did it not smell like it had a de-cat? Or were the police not that clued up.

Around here (sutton auto factors, dont know if their is any similar your way), think you pay £70 for a cat, but if you hand in your old knackerd one, you get £20 or £30 off, and you dont have to pay the levy.
