Now Lionels heart beats again, the budget track car tinkering continues.

I’ve got a huge leak where the down pipe meets the cat, so while I’m messing around I may as well decat (not road legal). It’s the rare 475mm cat - what are my decat options?

Shall I just forget about it and bog a load of exhaust paste in?

In keeping with the budget theme. If the cat body is OK you could just bash the catalyst matrix out of it.

The cat is a bit damaged and I was hoping to sell it. As luck would have it, I picked one up on FB marketplace!
