   hello
   
   sorry for my bad english i am french
   
   I bought an exhaust saxsport, but I have not seen the original exhaust to pass the ct "MOT french"
   so I think buying exhaust with sports cat
   
   but I wonder if the cat version is much less performance than the version without the cat?
   
   thank you

   Can't see it making a massive difference. You could always get a standard exhaust from a breakers yard and get a standard system for mot. That's what i have

   I would advise looking for genuine Citroen 2nd hand catalysts if possible (on eBay for instance) - They are much better than any aftermarket catalyst I've come across. When you require the French MOT, put it on - once it passes, remove again

   Okay I see... I have no direct use of a sports catalyst so I can't comment on their performance (in terms of power or emissions). Is there much availability in France for sports cats for the Saxo?

   Sports cats are a less efficient design than a standard type. They do not restrict or affect flow too much so you only tend to loose 1 or 2 bhp.
