Please note, Cat's ARE NOT a legal requirment in the UK, as long as a car can pass the smoke test @ MOT, which all diesel cars I've owned, can.
For this reason, in the UK, where I LIVE, a Decat is NOT ILLEGAL providing car's pass their test.
(There is speculation that >07 cars with DPF's will fail the MOT now, but no hard evidence supports this, and car in question is 06).
Anyways, onto the main topic......
I've purchsed a VW Polo 9N3 1.4tdi as a daily runner. It's already got a remap on it, and it was orignally 70bhp, now circa 100bhp.
I've deccatted all my cars up to date, and thus plan on doing it with this car.
My questions are:
. Can I literally pull the existing Cat off, bang out the innards and replace?
. Is it an easy job to get Cat off?
. If I can't bang the innards out, is it possible to buy a decat pipe?
