Ferrari VR6 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Anybody ever removed the 'suitcase' from the exhaust system and just run a straight pipe from the cat to the back box?Is it still legal? Link to post Share on other sites
cadguy77 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 yes it's legal iirc Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Probably due to noise regulations. It would make it very loud. Would it gain you much power anyway? - the cat is more restrictive than the rest of the system put together. Link to post Share on other sites

Ferrari VR6 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Check this outlinkI'm trying to think of something that's not going to break the bank but still get a sweet sound from the car until i can afford a supersprint system, cutting the suitcase out might make it too loud tho, hmmm Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 How about doing a cat replacement pipe on its own? Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrari VR6 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Been thinking about that too mate but i wanna keep it legal...Can someone clear this cat issue up, is a cat bypass illegal to use on the road or is it you just can't get an MOT without a cat cos of emissions?

Ciaran 4 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 lol i got an "anti social behaviour order" last month due to the fact the police don't appreciate the ram air or my exhaust. if i get caught again in the next year they take the car and i have to pay Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 2 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Its not an MOT requiremtn to have a CAT but you'll be very lucky to pass without it. Link to post Share on other sites
francisjonno 2 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Coullstar's right, technically you don't have to have a cat to pass your MOT test but try and tell the MOT tester that - most of them will fail it just for not having one Link to post Share on other sites
