Simons and Jetex both seem popular 'Sports' systems.

However, my car being 1991 has a CAT. B230f. Many of these sports systems are for non cat earlier cars. A few years ago when i investigated it sounded like legislstion dictated that if a car was built before X month in 92 (or something or other) then the cat could be removed. Obviously i'd then get a boss welded onto the new exhaust for the 02 sensor.

Anybody know what the current regs say?

Thanks
From Aug 1st 1992 registration date is the date for catalytic converter MOT tests ..
