Sports Catalytic Converters

[christopher 5 1 Cars]

I guess we are lucky that most of our 205s don't have cats. However...

 

I need a new catalytic converter for my 405 T16. I am considering one of these from Jetex, or custom chrome. They come in 100,200 or 400 substrate.

 

Question is how effective are these? They are designed for racing regulations. Does anyone have experience with these and the MOT.

they should be otherwise there is no point fitting them

 

no personal experience however.

Lots of people in the Jap scene use them, and I think they get through MOTs fine.

You would have thought. But it is hard to get a decent answer from people. I spoke to demon tweaks and some place local here in Denmark.

 

They say they are designed for the rally and race regulations which are not as strict as the ones for the road. So they have no idea how it will fair with a MOT test

My 205 v6 has a sport cat, my MOT emmissions were 0.3% and a pass

As above, a load of guys I know locally into their jap cars have them fitted and they mot fine!

I had one fitted to my v6 406 coupe, it passed the MOT, just!!!

 

If you get one don't go for the 100, I had a 200 and that's why I only just passed test.

They do give you an increase though... As good as a decat if you ask me!!

Really depends on the spec of the MOT, I know here you don;t need one for the MOT as there's a nice loophole in the test, then the Non cat test applies to cars from 1992 to around 96 from memory

My cat was knackered so I fitted this 200 cell one: http://www.sportcats.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=2_28_63&products_id=141&osCsid=f59de58dabd4cdcec27f7e52947c7c8d

 

went through the MOT fine!

100 allows the most exhaust emission to flow through, so go for that

Less likely to pass an mot with a 100 cell race cat. 200 minimum for a road car.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to give a 200 substrate a try.
