Iv recently bought a 07 tdv8 and im looking at removing the cats and getting a remap, where do people get their decat pipes from as I cant seem to find them anywhere
same for the remap as well really, who do you recommend?

If you remove the cat then it will fail its mot, and if vosa catch you without it fitted they will impound your car and give you a hefty fine. Remap is the only way to go. See site sponsor BAS here. http://bellautoservices.co.uk/

I know the law, I own an mot station
is there a supplier for decats that people use? if not ill make my own but that means cutting mine up which isn't ideal if I want to put it back on
also does anyone remove the egr valves? or is it generally done in a map?
thanks

Loads of info on this and the Disco 3 Forum, best bet use the search function on both Forums then make your own mind up.

Personally for a remap I would use Pete Bell or J E Engineering.

The egr delete isn't possible on the tdv8 as far as I know.

By rights then, you know better. Risking you livelihood for a few extra horses really isn't worth it is it

What will you do come mot? Put it back on?

I would of thought he would mot it himself?

If he does Daz, then that could be his downfall should he get tugged. His signature on his own mot certificate.

Granted true but a test certificate is only a true record of the vehicle on that given time and date.

A good example is a tyre that passes an mot but then the driver goes and does a burn out , then gets pulled by the police and done for a worn tyre. True story

But even if he put the cat on then wrote a certificate out and then removed it, you are right should know better

Now the cat has to be present on the mot has the construction and use act been changed to reflect it or has it always stated it should be there?

There's nothing to stop you MOTing your own cars, been doing mine for years, don't have a choice as I'm the only tester/mech in the garage. The boss lets me do them for free so I'm not going to go somewhere else and pay £50 for someone else to do it 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

I agree, but my point is, as you know what the mot standards are and you deliberately break the law as in Scott's case, he intends to, should he get caught, and then vosa find out who mot'd his car, it will open a can of worms at the mot station where he works and then questions get asked what else is slipping through the net at this particular mot station. I guess he is running one of the so called "friendly" mot stations that vosa are clamping down on.
