Default IM CONFUSED!! AGAIN!!!!

The up-lift pipe has started to blow on my car so ive been looking at a new one. All the ones i can see for sale are all de-cat ones. So is there a cat in the original? If there is a cat in the OEM part would it affect my MOT with a de-cat one?
Thanks in advance

There is only a Cat in the up-pipe on certain newage cars and no it won't effect the MOT, they pass with only one Cat in the Downpipe.

Yeah. I wasnt sure. Because all the up pipes were advertised as a De-cat i started to wonder if there should be one in there.

Think ur a bit confused now Ian, he needs a replacement up-pipe (because his is blowing) not downpipe, they are already de-cat on classics but on newage they have some sort of cat in them so there being advertised as de-cat for newage owners, but are still ok to go on a classic

Yep!

Classic = Up-pipe to turbo no cat, down pipe cat
Newage = Up pipe to turbo catted, down pipe catted



I remember de-catting my Newage down pipe but left the up pipe catted.


Made the car go wel, sounded like well....................meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow:nort y:
