Is it possible to get a decat pipe for a 1.8 TDCI?

Thanks

yes it's possible.

should cost around £50-60, and will basically be a straight pipe.

just be aware of a few bits:

1) as it's a legal requirement for one to be fitted to your car, should you be stopped by the police, and they can visibly see the cat is missing... they can force you to have the car MOT'd immediately - which it will fail. or, they can simply fine you and have the car taken off the road.

2) as it's a failed MOT if it's missing... people who do use a de-cat, generally swap things back just for the MOT

3) an alternative is for a sports-cat, which is less restrictive than the standard version, although a hell of a lot more expensive

4) insurance companies do class this as a performance modification. by not telling them could result in lack of payment should the worst happen.

Do you know of anywhere that may sell them?
