I'm considering putting my Fireblade - engined Pheonix through the SVA (it's currently track use only), and I suspect that, among other things, I'm going to have to fit a cat, as the engine dates from 1999. Does anyone have any experience of doing this,and can maybe suggest a suitable cat to use? - I really don't want to kill the (rather good!) performance....

I've not had any experience with a BEC, but I bought a racing cat from Jetex - they do two versions, depending on how many cells you want. I went for the 200 cell unit, but you'd probably want the 100.

Speak to someone like MK Engineering or Stuart Taylor, most of the kit manufacturers have a rent-a-cat system specifically for getting BECs through SVA

What ^^^ said. If the car will be on a q plate, and it may well be, then the only emission test you will ever face is the SVA. Hence the rent-a-cat thing. Not worth buying one IMO.

Thanks for the advice folks, Jetex certainly seem to have what I need, but I hadn't thought about Q - plates and rent - a system; sounds like the way to go, I'll look into it!

Cheers,
John
