de-cat it!

[farrie boy]

I drive a 1.2i and am desperate for more power, people have mentioned a de-cat pipe, how much difference does this make, where can i get one , how much are they, and are they easy to fit or will i have to take it to a garage to get done.
cheers

to de-cat a 1.2i u need to swap the exhaust for a GTE version

or at the very least swap the center pipe for a gte center pipe

but you'll prolly need welding done unless u get the full system cos the mounting interface is different between the downpipe and the center section

Just thought i'd mention that you will need it on to pass an MOT

u don't need cats on novas my black plated k reg 1.2i passed fine without one

Does that mean no novas actually need cats to pass the MOT (apart from the few L plates around).

don't forget about the 7 N plate nova's that were registered :o
