the the power gain 1-3bhp it MIGHT give i wouldnt bother, with the hassle of swapping over the cats for mot, pretty pointless really,

CATS arent required for the MOT on cars reg before 95 M reg. (ish)
however removal of the cat can mean ur emmisions are effected, which would fail the MOT - however my SRi was decated and sailed thru the emmissons test
personally i think its worth it - its bassically free BHPs, which can never be sneezed at, even if it is ony a couple.

Sounds better without :lol:
No car requires a CAT to pass MOT, but most that are designed to run with them will fail emissions

Won't you need to buy a decat tho?
not nessesarily...
could be after an exhaust at the same time, so could get a system for a pre cat gsi..
