why would anyone sell a pair of cats? if they have failed bin them and if not do you not need them for MOT or do you all know 'friendly' MOT locations?

12esc, thats a good price, better than I could find, I'll give them a bell tomoz

Appreciate it if you could D14 and let me know

Softtop, been running without cats for just over a year so mot is not an issue, however the car has never run properly since they were removed, running a bit rich. also it scares the hell out of kids and old ladies when driving down the high street Cc's fitted aswell, I have a chance of driving the car round France for two weeks vacation with the mrs on the condition that I have to quiet the car down a bit or We'll have to take her car....

it would be easier to put some standard cans on the back. Far less hassle and more sound reducing.

I'd go for a decat chip and standard cans if you don't need them for mot reasons. Easier to swap between and it helps keep the engine bay temps down.

Is there not some law in place now that replacenemnt cats must be type approved for vehicles 2001 or newer? The cheap cats don't have this, the more expensive items, which I guess are the same but carry the mark do?

I've got 2. One is new the other has done about 2,000 miles. Better to leave the decats in though. One of mine was beginning to break up after 2,000 miles! Luckily no nasty bits in engine!

I had a pair of these and they lasted less than 500 miles.....melted with no apparent reason, well tuned with a re-map to run with cats. It was only by chance I decided to replace with the de-cats that I noticed the damage. Last year they were 80 quid each.

Thanks for the tip,The thing is I think mine is an S and speaking to 1 of the leading Tvr engine builders last year sometime, they said that a decat chip is not needed for the S and the only sure way to find out is to check the injectors nozzles using a mirror and see if they are twin or single jet/nozzle, S being twin.
Now is it an S or is it a red rose? Everything externally, Rear spoiler, 57mm exhaust, big brakes, all original S badges, owners hand book S version, log book says sport. but the rear relectors are in the spoiler unlike some of the other S models which have the indicator lights in the spoiler.
Tried checking the injector nozzles but unable to see whether or not single or double.
Would like to know if anybody with a genuine S has the number 2290 inscribed, stamped or written on the injectors when viewed from the passenger side of engine, can be seen easily or any otherway of telling the differance between the models
Thanks
Steve

I have a pair of old cats which can be emptied out and used for decat pipes if anyone is interested.
