Hi, I just had my cat stolen from my Accord Type-R in broad daylight - they jacked up the car and cut it out with an electric hacksaw. Grrr.
I've never really got my head around exhausts and the differences between decat / cat back and how you can use a decat if a cat is required for the mot. Do people just swap in the cat for the mot? Surely if you have a crash the insurance is invalid?
I've got what's left of an OEM system with pre-facelift back boxes. I was happy with the noise level (after taking off some very loud and boomy back boxes when I got the car).
Are there 3rd party alternatives to OEM Honda cats that are worth getting or are they all just rubbish and unlikely to pass mot?
I'm not interested in extra performance, or swapping stuff around come MOT time, but it's an opportunity to have a nicer (not louder!) exhaust note. I was thinking about the Mongoose which isn't supposed to be too loud. Budget is £500
Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers, David
