Hey forum.....is is possible to just "disconnect" the catalyst? Without to many problems!!

What can happen if you buy a car with a G-kat and decide to take it of and install "normal" pipes?

'kin ell boys :mad:

Dunno if Johnono has answered this but yes you can just discoonect the lambda sensor and bin the cat.

There is a wiring loom socket underneath the battery tray under the bonnet, twist the connector off and remove the sensor. All cat prepared cars have a plastic cap attached to this socket to prevent corrosion, would be a good idea to raid a breakers yard for one.

The ECU will the run in open loop and you may even get a bit more 'poke'.

Johnono, thought you might have :D

The standard ECU and chip will work fine with/without the lambda sensor, no worries there mate :cool:
