cat bypass pipe made up
For sure, if I had the time and space to work on it, I’d have gone this route and seen how we got on. As it stood originally, my wife just needed the car back on the road ASAP for work so it was just a scramble to get parts sorted.
Now the question is how to stop it getting nicked again. I was gonna write “cheap cat” on it, but I figure once someone’s under the car after a cat, they’re gonna take whatever’s there regardless.
Tynan’s anti theft paste or similar was one thought, until I realised that any substance as a deterrent would either stink or catch fire as the exhaust heats up!
It's shit that even stuff that is nailed down is fair game to pondlife. I would have been tempted to get a cat bypass pipe made up and then run the rest of the exhaust and then hope it squeezed through another MOT. You're doing it properly though.
