100 cell cats or 200 cell cats

[escortcab]

That is the question.

The R8 is booked into Infinity exhausts in Bristol on Sat to get a cat back system put on it, and I have heard talk of 100 cell cats. But will the R8 with standard cam pass emissions with 100 cells or should I stick to 200 cell cats?

any advice would be great

Cheers

A cat back system won't touch the cat, or are you getting the cats done also?

100 cell cats are less restrictive and they still go through an m.o.t.

Yeah im getting the cat done with the exhaust so they can tune the noise output I want.

And 100 cell will deffo pass an mot?

100 cell cats will get you through an mot emissions test but they have to be virtually glowing when the car goes in.

The trick is to take the car for a thrash before then ask the tester to do the emissions test at the beginning rather than the end of the test

Finding a tester who knows these cars often helps a lot!!
