Default Has anyone....

Any experience with after market catalysts? The flexible joint on mine is starting to look decidedly second hand...As are the pipe to Manifold studs which are definitely going to go “ping” the moment I even look at them with a spanner

I’m going to need a new one at some point In the near future, but are aftermarket units actually capable of passing the MoT emissions test?

I’ve put a request in to the forum sponsors for a unit if they have one but there are some attractively priced new units out in the big wide world. However there’s no point getting a new one if the catalyst parts are ineffective. So do off the shelf pattern parts work? Or do I avoid them like the plague? Answers on a postcard.
