If anything it will spoil faster with the decrease in back pressure.

Oops - auto correct got me and I can't edit on the mobile site --- spool faster - not spoil

There is not much of a difference from having the CAT removed to having one fitted, source a renowned tuner.
So much so I got a new CAT from Dan at Duckworth parts and it is going onto my Puma next week. The main reason is the acrid stink from the exhaust fumes that the CAT filters out. JMTW  |

i prefer not having one, it does make the turbo spool quicker and sounds meatier.

^+1 but rearbox instead of centrebox. Differing opinions but glad I did it.
Noticed the difference on mine straight away. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I noticed two things once the cat and centre pipe were removed. First the engine had more power and spooled up much faster, secondly a huge reduction in heat in the cabin. On long trips +1000 mile no power drop due too heat. It seems too me that the exhaust heat can now flow away from the vehicle/engine which is all good!

I removed the cat on mine, noticed turbo spooling up much quicker.
Will also remove the centre silencer box, noticed lot of heat coming through on a recent trip in high ambient temps (34C) -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

Heat killed my manifold and turbo
 both were cracked! ££££  Since removing cat and centre silencer the engine has been nice and smooth, it sounds rather nice, and my cab has been cooler too. Engine now remapped and EGR disabled. From a cold start the diesel smell is a bit stronger and the soot deposits around the exhaust exit are blacker these days but at least that  isn't going back into my engine anymore. |

I have tons of engine live data taken from my Puma with the decat fitted with an Alive stage 2 remap. I am planning to take more live data with the cat refitted. Once the mot is done in September I will base the two sets of live data on whether to keep the cat or refit the decat.

No emissions check for diesel as such , only smoke test for mot at the moment
only visible check for cat for mot , if you get a switched on tester without a cat is a fail |
