Homer Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't have one (well apart from one with a hole in it!). However if MOT/emisions are a concern, only fit the 2nd cat, do not fit the 1st one when running higher boost (0.9 bar+). It should pass fine with only the 2nd cat in place. In the mean time, fit a restrictor ring to limit the boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have both for sale in the for sale section, also a restrictor ring if thats what you fancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJD Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 not sure the facelift bit matters but you know what i mean. Apparently what matters is whether you have the VVTI engine (I think there are facelifts that don't have the VVTI engine?) I've recently done exactly the same as you - been looking for one or other cat for my jspec VVTI TT. Sorted it with Whifbitz in the end - thanks Paul - but one thing I did learn is that the first cat is different on the VVTI engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
