Catalytic Convertors

Piper Cams & Exhausts would like to make all of our customers aware that any sports catalyst or decat section purchased from us directly or from any of our third party dealers / stockists / suppliers are NOT intended for road use. These items are for Motorsport/Track and off-road use only.

A decat section is a straight pipe that replaces your car’s catalytic converter. It is done to enhance performance by reducing resistance in the exhaust system, it is however illegal to run a car on UK roads without a catalytic converter. Your vehicle will not pass an MOT without one and you could be fined for breaking emissions regulations.

To read the government’s guidelines on this, follow the link Catalytic converters: advice on type approval and legal requirements for suppliers and manufacturers – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
