Removal of IS200 pre cats
Removal of IS200 pre cats
I was wondering how easy it is to remove the pre cats? I plan to keep the OEM cat, and have a cat back, but also delete the 2 cats on the manifold.
If there is a how to that would be great. I have done a search and I understand the car will pass MOT with just the main cat.
Cheers in advance.

Have there been such problems with the IS200? Also do the studs etc have a bad habit of snapping, so I can buy bit on standby.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Studs seem pretty good mate, mines been off and on a few times now, i've got the decatted oem manifold on mine and had no problems with it, mines had the cats cut open and cleaned out, then re-welded up :thumbup1: also passes the MOT no problem :thumbup:
