Default Sport cat downpipe & anti lag???

I was under the impression that simtek anti lag will damage cats however, I have just noticed that TSL list their thundercat downpipe as anti lag proof?? I am in the process of getting simtek with anti-lag and would ideally like to run a sport cat downpipe. 1. For simplicity at MOT time 2. Because my car is too loud for some tracks and it should tone it down a little. Can anyone shed any light on these anti lag proof cats please?

decat it and get a quieter back box.

Don't need to run ALS on track though tbh.

What back box do you use? My current set up (don't even know what it is, was on the car when I bought it) is 102 db. Any recommendations for a quieter but free flowing back box? Thanks

That sounds pretty good. Do you do track days, ever had any problems with noise?

Talking

Opps sorry! Very embarrased! I'm on my iPhone so everything is very small and I didn't see your signature. ( it's also repeated all my posts and I don't know why). No offence intended and thanks for the advice. I'd still be interested to know though if there is such a thing as a anti lag proof cat? Anyone?

I very much doubt there is such a thing but I'm sure someone wil pit me right.

proper ALS on track really isn't nice.

Anti lag is a waste of time you will soon get sick of it like I did its just a gimmick TBH, better off spending the extra 150 quid on something which actually makes a difference, keep your sports cat (I know if i had one I wouldent be taken it off) and replace your back box to something a bit more track friendly
