Sideways? 33 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 Tarmac Sportz on the other side is a Berk Technology dealer... perhaps head over there and see if they'll do a competitive price in comparison to eBay...??Here is the link; http://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/forum/berk-technology_topic4446.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will300 812 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 I've been looking into a new exhaust system and whether or not to get a decat. It turns out there are two cats on the car, one is in the header and one front cat. So you should be fine replacing the front cat.Also weren't you speaking to these guys on the other forum about getting one: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/Ber...6-BT8604_.aspx?

Sideways? 33 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Right, so, if you change the manifold to one that does not have a cat built in (the front cat is part of the OEM manifold) then you will need to either keep the OEM secondary cat or fit a high-flow one like the one you have suggested.Theoretically any cat from a reputable dealer should reduce the emissions to legal levels - what is the point in making a cat that doesn't do the job - but as always, check with the dealer and make sure you're happy with the answer they give before purchasing... :-)In short, no, you don't need to get something custom made because there are loads of CAT's on the market...

Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 We @ Abbey feel running only a sports 2nd cat may not pass the MOT easily, I know Keith has tried this but I feel want to double check before we say yes. This is on our list to do. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
