I understand if you decat it, it smells like an old ice cream van if you are near the exhaust.

Actually my mate put a performance exhaust on his TDi Seat. It had no cat or silencer boxes in it. It's wasn't noisy at all! All you heard was a bit more turbo whistle.

IMO on a TD6 it is just not worth the effort or the expense.

It will still pass the emissions test without one. However the tester is also supposed to visually check to see if a Cat is present, if the car had one when new. So it depends if he or she notices. You can also get decats that look the same as a real Catalytic converter, the tester can't check the inside. |
