If there isnt one in the dump, there needs to be one straight after it. It's illegal otherwise.

That said, I'll be running an Invidia with a cat in the dump.

I'm aware that its illegal, was just wondering how many people dont care.

That said I'm prob not going to get many owning up to doing something illegal :lol:

And why would you bother anyway? Not worth the potential hassle.

And I thought it was fairly obvious from what I've said that I don't consider the gains to be worth the risk/downsides...

Exhaust does smell pretty bad without a cat.

A mild steel dump pipe without a cat is the cheapest and best performing type though.

Best Mufflers in Sydney sell the X-Force dumps in mild steel for somewhere around $300

I've got full tbe 3" x force in SS with a ms dump. Made a piece of straight pipe to replace the cat and it did fuck all, just made it stink. I figured it was because the after market cat was high flow. I don't use the de-cat any more
