yea i'm heading out to the wreckers on sunday so i'll pick one up then, it wont do any damage to my car driving without the cat and exhaust will it? i can imagine the cops would come down on that kinda thing heavy so i'll use it as little as possible

If your morally against polluting the planet then dont drive it around. Coppers wont like it if they pull you up theyll be sending you to the EPA real fast. But on the other hand, itll sound tought so driving it might not be all bad Its funny cause you go to some exhuast places around here and most of them are willing to give you the old gutted cats off the commy's for like 10, 20 bucks.

one padlock one bolt lol. i would laugh so hard if i seen that. scan ebay. might find it lol.

no, both bolts, one per side and on the lowest point of the flange drill a new hole and put a lock through it.

the stock flange on the cat-catback is crap and one bolt would never give a seal.

Stole your cat bro, that is weak.
Everyone, stop eating dim sims for a week or two, could be whitevrboi's cat.

there is also a possibility of jail time isn't there? it's a pretty serious offence and the punishment CAN be very harsh.

Someone recently told one of my mates that my car had a hollow cat, and to hollow his out so that his car would go as fast as my car, when he asked me how I hollowed out my cat I was like "WTF!!!!!!! my car has a fully working cat man, that's a bad idea!"

hahahah gold.

yea i think i'll borrow my sis's car to go to the wreckers...its a bit too much of a gamble for my liking. 20k fine/jail time or have to put up with the humilation of driving a filthy 1995 VW Polo with sheepskin covers....actually jail time sounds good lol. thanks for all your help guys

Ill buy a 3" hiflow if anyone steals one.... oh oops this isnt a request for thieving thread..

 

[kevs_bt1]

Fine for driving a VR with no cat....$20k
Cost of new cat....$100
Seeing a Commodore driver in a VW Polo...PRICELESS

For eveything else...there's Mastercard. (bail)
