Hi,

My (2nd hand) decat has arrived, there's no Gasket and Bolts with it (as I thought). Search doesn't seem to be working at the moment, do I need particular bolts and is the gasket the same as would fit to a standard cat?



Cheers,
Scott

Gasket is different, looks like:

Scott, I took mine down to CES on Bumpers Lane in Chester as they have hundreds of different gaskets there.

They will sort you out

Ah cool, thanks both. I have a CES at home too, I'll give them a shout. What about bolts?

You can reuse your existing bolts as I swap my decat to my OEM cat at MOT time with no issues or you can get new bolts from Honda & possibly CES

I didn't buy any extra / new bolts, nuts, etc, when I swap my decat & oem cat over and when I have bought new decats from both Garage R and DMS they came without bolts or gaskets. When I questioned this I was told to use the existing ones so I did.

Really? ... the exhaust end of the cat usually has studs on it.

I'll have a look under the car tomorrow, my cat isn't OEM Honda, so the bolts may be reusable. If not I can source some that fit locally all being well. Just need to decide if I can be bothered fitting it tomorrow before I go on holiday
