Hi guys. Has anyone had the misfortune of needing to replace the oem cats or upgraded to high flow cats (similar to the Supersprint #786032) ?
My coupe has been decat by one of the previous owners but not by replacing it with a decat pipe properly, instead just butchering it and cutting them out and welding straight pipes in.
When I brought the car some months back, it had no mot and hasn't had an mot for years (i know i took a gamble!). I sorted out a few obvious things, hadn't even realised it was decat and took it for an MOT at which it failed since they couldnt even see a cat let alone emissions test it.
I want to get this sorted and have the option of running decat if i want to rather than having no other option, otherwise I'd have sought a friendly MOT tester
So now the issue, I've been quoted around £2500 for the OEM cat pipe from a dealer. I'd have liked to have got the supersprint option but that is around £2500 too!
Are there any other options off-the-shelf that i am missing?
