   I just had a mongoose exhaust system fitted its got a 4 and half inch tail pipe which i wasnt sure abt to be honest,im happy with the exhaust,however when they finished fitting they told me that they noticed a very small leak from the pipe that comes from the cat,they said it wasnt immediately serious but im a little worried now as they said it wud cost abt £220 to replace if i wanted to. They asked if i noticed any power loses but i cant say iv really noticed any. Any advice plz

   buy a second hand cat, or get a de-cat

   £220 from a leak in the cat?
   
   Presuming it's a standard cat, pick up another one from a scrappy or de-cat it as Frankie said. Would be about £50-60 max.
