Wheres my cat?

[Dave-B]

Just wondering where abouts my cat converter is in my 2001 1.1
And does any one know where I can get a decat for it?

On the manifold most likely, if correct then you would need a new mainfold to decat it.

it'll be in the manifold and you'll have to buy an after market 4 branch manifold to de-cat it which is not worth it on a 1.1 tbh

[Dave-B]

Alright cheers for the replys

dont mean to sound like a grump but is it worth the time and money decatting a 1.1? if u dont have a center box on your ehhaust then it'll be in the manifold as said. i thought it was just furios and vtrs in which they moved the cat in the later years. correct me if im wrong though

Open the bonnet and look down on the front of the engine if you see a box like part on the manifold then thats your cat. failing that have a look under the car.

These are the 2 options in the book for your car.

If yours is the first one then contact your local custom exhaust specialist (Google it) for a de-cat pipe, if its the second one then you need to get a full De-cat down-pipe but it will fail the mot on emissions.

My advise is to get a big bore cat-back stainless and just leave the cat in if its the 2nd one. so much easier, i made that mistake on mine.

well yea everyone knows taking your cat out will fail an mot so you just just it back in for mots lol

Really?? lol

Its not as easy as a decat pipe if his cats on the downpipe.

Not worth the hassle on a 1.1L.

[jeffchiz]

well a manifold only takes 10 min to swap over tbh id much rather change a manifold than a de-cat pipe under the car

but yea i said its not worth buying an after market fanimold for a 1.1 im not arguing that fact lol
