I have fitted the hoffmans sports cat I got of pete-gti this evening.  The car rev's a bit more freely, also sounds a bit louder through the mongoose Stainless. But I like it. So I should have the power of a de-cat but the car is MOT friendly.  Cheers Pete for the bargin of the year. ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

Had the cars emmisions checked this afternoon, Passed fine. took a while for the CO2 to come into limits though, is this normal for the Rallye/GTi6 engines? As I think it was the same with the standard CAT to.________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

Did you have any problems with the cat/manifold joint blowing? What exhaust fitting kit did you use, was it the genuine peugeot set? |

I have had a few issues, but since i fitted a proflex lower engine mount the engine moves less and doesn't wear out the donut in the manifold to cat join. ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

So if you own a decat allready quite abit cheaper. Talking to the insurance assesor when my 309 got wrote off he said a cat is one of the first things they look for,especially if car has mods/after market exhaust. ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Does the car still do the odd backfire with a sports cat or is it like going back to blandness? I love my pops and bangs.   ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
