Doubt it greatly plus they wont beable to see under mine to have a look
ha ha, same here, So, they going to have to jack mine up to see that i havent got one.
And like everyone says its cheaper, alot.
Iv also heard something about the 1.8 20vt engine being ok come MOT time, even with a DECAT.

Does it work & fit without modification swoosh? I think I need on for my sports-cat.

. Is that seller on Ebay safe? I take that's where you got yours from?
Mr Dave was telling me about somebody he knew getting done for having a de-cat the other day. I don't really know the details but itt is a risk.
Bit risky, but that's something anyone who buys a decat will always have to remember..
Pretty sure I'll be getting a sports cat. Unless I get a contact who is willing to pass the car with a decat fitted.
I have the blueflame 100cell sports cat fitted works a treat with the system would changing to decat be more benefital in gains im looking to take the car off the road to fit and oil catch tank fmic and then a stage 2 map. Is there really a worth while difference apart from the noise and the popping in getting a decat power wise.
You won't get any more popping with a decat either, a sports-cat is free flowing enough. It's the contruction of the silencer(s) in the Cat-back that's stopping the pops and flames, you need to lose the middle silencer and get a free flowing custom rear silencer.
I could be wrong but wont messing with the Lambda sensor mean the car will run rich? This is what happened to a mates 2.2 Astra SRI.
Obviously you could kill ya engine if this were the case but i'm unsure.

Yes it will run rich
I've only just got rid of my lambda fault on my LCR.. the car felt a bit lumpy and not as smooth as it usually is under boost. Sure thing my pre-cat Lambda sensor was faulty. Just had it replaced by AmD and now all is fine. Car runs sweet
I have just bought a normal scorpion decat with a straight o2 spacer, is this what everybody else has done, getting it fitted to standard system.. Hope i wont throw a EML light!
If you have an 02 spacer for the lambda sensor in the system you should be ok. I was going to buy an 02 spacer from awesome gti to fix my lambda code. But on closer inspection, the lambda itself was dead and needed replacing. It's fine now and I have no codes or no 02 spacer on a full milltek turbo back system (sports cat not decat).
