Weld in Cat?

[Paul A]

Hi,
The front part of the exhaust gone on the wifes 2.2 petrol "B".
I have a spare, brand new BUT the cat is u/s on it (Long story.... the garage that fitted it Bug**red it by dropping exhaust paste into it which ignited the cat)
Can you get "Weld in" cats?
The pipework is excellent so would save quite a few quid if it can be done.
If they are available ..... where?

Thanks!

Paul

Hi,
Can the "cat" be taken out completely?
I.e. weld in a bit of pipe?

Thanks....

you can do mate but your emisions might be to high and would require a cat for the MOT so you would only be putting of buying one if you know what i mean

Ok......

How about this?

As I said the pipework is brand new, cut out the old one, weld in?

Got it done!!!!
Found a place in Welwyn Garden City .. "Predator Exhausts".
£78 for a new cat welded in (Beautiful Job too .... first class welding!)
The new cat much better than the piece of c**p Vauxhall fit as standard - More power and much lower co2 than standard!

HIGHLY recommended!
