Default Advice needed Re Cat and Invidia exhaust

Just had the MOT Yesturday, Went through with flying colours. Now had to have the CAT put back on. Havent driven it before with the CAT on, I was quite amazed how nice it felt with the cat on.

The drone is virtually gone it might be a little bit quiter but not enough to notice the car seems smoother as well.

Is this going to cause the car any problems if i leave the CAT on? (want to do my bit for the enviroment)

if I leave the CAT on I could have a Test Pipe for sale with antifoulers.

What do u guys think?

I think you're mad Everyone else experiences less drone with the test pipe installed. You will also be losing a little power perhaps by having the CAT in place. It will smell nicer though.

... if you do decide to sell up though I'd be interested in the test pipe :-)

I drove around for the first week or two with the Cat in.

There must be something seriously wrong with your system if it is genuinely quieter with the Cat in place.

I couldn't bare it.
