Small cat required
RichardK - 15/5/11 at 10:35 PM

Does anybody know how big this cat is roughly MG ROVER MGF 1.8 91-00 Exhaust Cat Catalytic Convertor | eBay UK my mate been quoted £130 +vat from a place in an earlier thread so thats a no goer.

or

Does anybody know of a small cat that can be welded in? Even better has anybody got one kicking about they no longer want, got to be small though.

Cheers

Rich,

I bought a Mini Cooper Cat like the left hand part of this MINI COOPER ONE CAT CATALYTIC MANIFOLD LAMBDA SENSORS | eBay UK

Its approx 5 or 6" across so about the same as my exhaust can. I cut the existing pipes off and had welded on some new straight pip to weld it in in front of my can. About to do my IVA when I get my date so will find out if its good enough!

It has some charp edges so a cover will be needed if thats a concern although I'm sure with a little work you could grind the edges round.

Edited to add a photo when I was mocking up. Std ZX9 exhaust can above the cat.

great british sportscars used to do a small cat for about £75 I think

might be worth a call

Mmm the gbs is exactly the thing I want but still £103 is alot of coin. Linky

Any more suggestions before we purchase....
