Default Catalytic Converter Bypass?

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone uses a Catalytic Converter Bypass for track use? Is it possible to get kits for them or is as simple as a valve and piping? But surely it would have to be precision made to get a good clean flow of gasses through?

most dont have a cat unless its a post 95 engine. even then most people fit a cat for the test then take it off after.

No such thing as cheap cats in UK, some must be type approved. Try BM catalysts. Good luck.
If you want to remove the cat just make a pipe and the flanges yourself from the gaskets as a pattern.
Sport cats are available too.
