Cat fitting
I am looking at the cheapest possible way of getting as much BHP into my Luego XT chassis as possible. One of the engines I am thinking of is the
Duratec with bike throttle bodies and a megajolt system. If I were to use such a new engine then I presume that I will need a cat for the exhaust
system for SVA and I am interested to know how I could fit one to a '7' type car without it looking shocking? What is the usual route for
this?
Cheers
Steve

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

One way is to get the car through the SVA with a cheaper, quicker installation engine from pre '95, a pinto perhaps. Then at some later date
upgrade to something like a Duratec with the exhaust coming out the same side. To the best of my knowledge the car will retain its original emmissions
requirements. I would expect that the Duratec would be better on emmisions than the pinto without a cat. So everyones happy
Perhaps someone could advise if this is not the case regarding emmision requirements.
Cheers,
Colin

Put anything old in, and get a Q plate.
Problem solved.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
