    New Cat or de-cat system

    My '96 VR-4 cat is now spread across the M25 near Leatherhead and I've started looking for a new one with no joy, as yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a new one please or are they like hen's teeth? Maybe a de-cat system is the real answer but do these cause probs at MOT time?? Are there any draw-backs or advantages to a de-cat system and where can I get one at a decent price?

    Many thanks in anticipation of numerous knowledgeable replies

    The de-cat will give you better performance & best place to fined them is on ebay cause the evo 4 to 6 ones will fit our cars. You will need to put the cat back on for the mot & I'm sure if you put up a WTB thread someone will have one for sale.
    The mighty Leedsnum has gone but the Airtrek mods will soon fill this space

    Thanks for the speedy reply. Are second hand ones OK then? Just worried that spending around £100 mat result in something that lasts 3 months or so. Is there any way of telling if they're close to collapse?
    Cheers

    As Dave said you won't pay £100. £30 to £60 tops & it gets you through an mot then money well spent but get a de-cat as well
