I thought id start a new thread as in my previous one regarding the exaust, i got down to the subject of de-catting because i dont want to shell out 1300 squids for the whole down pipes unit which includes the cat.
My lambda is up on the exit manifold so im thinking this may be actually...
I have made a de-cat pipe for C32's.:bannana::bannana::bannana::D:D

:confused: I have a left-hand drive 1987 300SE (W126).
It is fitted with a catalytic converter, which has started to break up. The price of the stealership cat is exhorbitant, but I cannot find a UK distributor with an aftermarket cat for this model. Ideally, I would like to de-cat this car -...
