The cat also saps a fair bit of power, if you can do without at IVA then you have a much easier ride when tuning engines after and still complying with the emmisions required on the V5 for MOT.
I was thinking more in terms of the standard installation on a budget. Wasa had started a thread on the st engine using all the standard ecu etc off the donor car http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=8494. That amounts to a big saving let alone the ball ache and time to install carbs etc. I just thought this might compliment a stock system without looking pig ugly while being up to speed on the emissions.

Edit a bit from dave walker on the subject of carbs vs inj http://www.emeraldm3d.com/articles/C...ction_Project/
