   decats aren't really an option anymore as it is an MOT failure. 'dodgy' mots are apparently available but is it really worth it?

   thats why you keep your cat, so when it comes MOT time you swap the decat for the cat

   has your powerflow system got any silencers on it ?
   
   when I decatted my car it was mega loud, so I had to buy a Piper exhaust with silencers on it to make it more manageable..

    Yeh if I take it off il need to buy a race tube but I don't know what car my system came of because where the back box connects to the centre pipe is different to my standard system?
