Can only find them for 1.4's and 1.6's... Would these fit?
And am I best to get a Piper one as this is the same make as my backbox...

Have a look under your car, see where the cat is? If its under the car then theres no reason why a de-cat for <2000 saxo wont fit yours.

If you take it to somewhere like Powerflo then they can make a bypass pipe for not too much or remove your cat for you, on my VTR Unique Exhausts in Stafford (Powerflo) did it for me for £30 and you can guarantee that it fits etc then with no problems because there professionals and do it all for you.

Just to let you know that i wanted a de-cat on mine and everywhere i went said it would straight away fail an MOT (emissions). have to be fitted to all vehicles manufactured after 1992 i think. And if the VOSA pull you for a spot check and do an emissions test you will fail as you don't have a cat. They have more power than the police to get your vehicle off the road as it's classed as unroadworthy as it would fail an MOT.
So i still haven't got one because of this bollocks!

I understand your point, but how many people have been pulled over by them? If they pull me over I will claim i didnt know....

Yeah I'll take it to a place near me who has strong ties to Powerflow... I guess you could just play dumb and say you thought it was always like that and that's how you bought it...?

If you go to Powerflo they have some clever tricks anyway I had a new middle box to improve mine, and I dont fuss if vosa can get under my car good luck to them, cos i cant even get a jack under it
