Hi all

I run a 2007 XK 4.2 - 113k miles. Car is in top condition, has been looked after and maintained. Just passed its MOT (last week( after a retest after failing on emissions (Cats on both banks failing).

Jaguar OEM units are crazy money but I have heard that many aftermarket units are mediocre quality and last 2 years tops.

Interested in anyone who has had to face the same problem and found a decent solution. Other than the cats issue the car is A1

That's the catch. The answer is depends on how long you're planning to keep the car combined with whether OEM is more than twice the price of aftermarket.

Would sports / racing cats be an option?
Don't know how they stand on price Vs OEM
