    yes 2 cats in all models of S2's, they are heavy and cost a fortune new...as for generic sports cats I have been quoted about £100-£200 pounds for a single 100 cell cat to replace them and still pass the emissions test. i think there is a pretty stiff markup on the branded ones...no idea why really.

    Cheers

        Where was that quote from for the cats Dave?

        Will it pass with a 100 cell? thought 200 cell was needed?

          Surely you only need one cat for MOT & Emmissons?
          Can you "bin" one and keep a single cat, or use decats and replace with a real moggie for MOT time? Or is that against the S2 ethos

            from Mal at Longlife in Cardiff where I had my exhaust made up Jamo....

            I'm getting the Y section removed and a single pipe off the d/pipe with a 100 cell cat which he thought would be enough to cover it...flow on a 100cell cat is supposed to be almost free flowing as i understand it.

              I ask because I know a couple of S2 owners that have had 100 cell cats but still fail on emissions it does depend on how good the cat is.

              It does depend on the size of the cat. If i could find a cheap skyline or HKS cat that would do the job nicely.

                        I know a guy in Brum that does MOTs for £25 plus a £15 "de-cat tax" to see you right. Still cheaper than most places charge for a MOT

                              Problem with that is if you get stopped by a VOSA check your screwed.

                              And don't think it can't happen VOSA no longer need a police presence to inspect your car.

                                You can get a fine, and need to get them put back on then checked at an MOT station.
                                I know someone that it has happened to.
                                I ran my last car with no cats for over 2 years, and never had a single problem, I think the chances of getting stopped and checked are pretty remote
