None. I have done it on my 'track' car and there are no issues. It's illegal in the UK though to use on the roads.

Having my cat done tomorrow, thats after £1200 of suspension work and it needs a new turbo which is happening next month. Brought a 2.0D to save me money and its cost me PF S8 money already. Plan is to keep it long enough to recoup money.

my cats where one of the first things to go on the car, the car was slow an i assumed that they where blocked (proberbly due to our crap fuel quality)so i removed them.only issue is droning noise at constant speed and when its a cold start i get ppl asking me if the exhaust has a hole in it.so i need to replace the cat box with a straigh pipe.in RSA we dont have to have cats in
