is the cat on my car at the front end not underneath? i have had a look and i think it is but am not sure and if anyone knows how wide the tube is either side?
its a 1.0 corsa if you need to know.
want to take out the cat and just wondering what side tube i need for it.

the cat is in the downpipe that bolts to the mainfold its in 1 piece the goes right back to the mid section imo theres no point in de-cating a 1.0 your prob not gain any power more likely lose some

i doubt you will get one 'off the shelf' for the 1.0.... take the pipe off and cut the cat out and weld in a pipe in its place... you will need to do some bodging to get the lambda sensor back on though...
i personally wouldnt do it with that particular engine...
