What horror stories have you heard about sport cats ?
I've been running a 100 cell japspeed sport cat for 3 years without issue. My cars been mapped with it and its passed 3 MOT's with it.

You have to get them hot to work. One of my MOT's the tester had to rev my car to 2500-3000 revs for a minute to get it hot enough to pass. Didn't have a problem the following mot.
