As per my previous thread I am getting an exhaust from Powerflow for my Tipo 2.0 16v Quote of £250-300 which I thought was quiet good?

However there is an option for a sports CAT as well but its £200 quid extra, so my question is how long are CAT's supposed to/usually last for?

Thanks

depends on the engine condition and fuelling as oil and unburnt petrol will damage it. Given that our cars have been around 10 years and Cat replacement has not yet appeared in the group buy section then 10-20 years seams like a possibility

They are supposed to last the expected lifetime of the vehicle

Hmm food for thought then really could save £200

Well engine is good, so should think it would be in average condition car is now 13-14 years old

Graham Goode Racing do PROPER RACE CAT's for about £150, I have a 3" ID one, rated apparently for about 600hp, we'll soon see when it's on the rollers, but initial impressions are that it doesn't affect the exhaust at all !

Oh sounds quiet good will have to see if they do one for the Tipo then

it's just a universal fit, so you'll have to have it made up, I basically had it made as a removable section, with a straight through link pipe ( incase it restricted the exhaust ), but oddly enuf, it doesn't seem to make a difference yet. The emissions are spot on, as it sailed through it's MOT, plus of course you are all legal & hunky dory & all that

Well for £150 cannot complain got any contact details for them?
