Just a quick question related to this thread.
 For future reference have any other Oofers used this make of aftermarket Cat ?

 are they OK  with no problems or issues arising .    3.0  V6  version is what I would require.

TIA

Not used aftermarket cats before...I will have a genuine pair available shortly from a 99 3.0 v6...

Incidentally the cats are the same on the 2.5 and 3.0

I would try to get a second hand known good pair of genuine ones if you can.

I have seen all to many of these cheap cats only last 12 months at best.

I brought a cheap one from Kwik Fit Last year, well not so cheap.
Its Horrible the car sounds like its blowing all the time
When the budget allows i shall be sourcing a good secondhand one.
DONT buy aftermarket Cats

Thought  that may be the outcome.  
I don't think mine need replacing yet - just thinking ahead to maybe get a good used set ready

I also had a "not so cheap" non VX cat fitted about a year ago when the internal brick became loose and rattled like mad.

It was a really nasty peice of kit and a total waste of money..made the car sound like a racing car and wouldn,t recommend anything other than genuine vere again..even an old genuine is better than a new elcheapo.

I bought a genuine VX replacement from a breaker and restored my car to a pleasant sound.If you want the elcheapo its for the o/s and you can collect it from kent free of charge .It is laying up against the shed at the moment and has been for the last 6 months .

Thanks for the offer of the Cat, but will probably try & source a set of used VX ones.

Could I   ask how much you paid for  your ones from the breaker ?
PM if you want

Can you run the car without the cats ?

[ffcgary1]

Yes, but not if you want to pass the emmissions test at the MOT.May even have an issue with the law as to the car conforming to regulations.
