To cat or de-cat

Evening All,

Having had the vehicle on the road for aabout 2 weeks, I realised some rattling appeared in the exhaust system.

Turns out the rattling was the CAT failing, It had broken up inside.

I am debating whether or not to de cat or not. I realise my car doesn't have the benefit of a turbo so I am not entirely sure of the gains/benefit of de-cat. It easier and cheaper to fit a new cat.

Any thoughts on the above? :)

I had the same problem, so put on a sport cat. Amazing the difference. Love it.

Ok, Thanks. :thumb:

Where did you buy the sport cat from?

I was thinking about this system: http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/w ... /overview/

As this system fits behind the cat, which other part do I need to(maybe)exclude the CAT?

I agree, Robin at Autopontiac is the one to speak to for advice. I just got a generic sport cat off eBay. Worked perfect.
