Hi
Just spotted a hole the size of a 50p in my cat this afternoon, MOT due soon and as its a late 92 car, i can't remove it. Checked the price on ECP an it is over Ԛ£500 +VAT! Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andy

You can have my cat for Ԛ£100, it's a tabby and she's really good with kids!



:lol:

I'd buy the standard exhaust that ECP sell without the cat, and fit that, iirc correctly they look identical from the outside.

Small hole like that will weld up OK for this years MOT, then spend your Ԛ£500 on a LPG conversion before next year - you won't need a cat to get through emmisions then.
