Im going to need a Cat for emissions part of IVA and future MOTs. Ive got an MK supplied manifold and silencer but am struggling to find a cat that is small enough to fit between the manifold and silencer.

I plan to shorten the straight pipe after the Lambda sansor but this still only leaves about 8" max, shortest cat I can find is about 10".

Looking for a bit of guidance/inspiration from what any body else has done!

Here is a pic of my cat on my old MK

Hi
We had the same problem on our Indy R1,
Used a bike can with a decibel killer in it + a S/S
elbow & a straight chrome trim bashed on the end
we got the cat from the US.
this lot came out at 97 db for the IVA.
Good luck
René


IVA exhaust with cat

Not very locost, I know, but with all the outlay to buy a car and get it shipped to Spain,, I couldn't risk a
problem with emissions failure out here.
I bought a a used MK silencer/cat from Danny. In appearance, indistinguishable from the standard item.
Sailed through emissions test, and I do believe Dan will hire out the same item to get your car through UK IVA.
I now have a £150 'spare' silencer/cat. My car's due a new test in nov 2015.
