(yes I know they're easy to fit but I don't have much spare time so..).He did the corrosion and when he brought my car back to me he said that it doesn't have a cat.
Were any Mk2's released by Toyota without cat's?

Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Took my 1991 N/A Rev1 MR2 MkII to my local garage the other day to get a bit of corrosion sorted out and I asked my mechanic if he could fit a de-cat pipe for me once I'd bought one (yes I know they're easy to fit but I don't have much spare time so..).
He did the corrosion and when he brought my car back to me he said that it doesn't have a cat.

Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
yeah my 91 never had a cat
Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Did any Rev 1's come with cat's fitted?
Cos if some had cats and some didn't surely that means that the listed 158bhp for the rev 1 is actually more for those without cats rather than those with.
Anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Does your mechanic know a lot about MR2's???
The first place i took my rev 3 NA to said that it didn't have a cat.....Thats cos they were looking up near the engine where a turbo has the cat......
Some people are stupid enough to not realise that the cat sits directly behind the exhaust box
You may not have a cat but i would check again just by jacking the back of the car up and looking behind the exhaust...
Is it quite a loud exhaust note or fairly tame....

So what am I looking for? Any pics of a cat/no cat MR2?

When my foot is down or just idle? I've never had/driven another MR2 so I have no idea about the sound.

He said he's dealt with a few before so.
...Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
UK spec Rev 1 didn't have a cat, but JDM ones ( and those for various other markets ) did have one.

Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Yep,
My Rev1 UK was fitted with a baffle where the cat goes. Although I've got a straight through Powerflow system now. 
More of a dog person anyway

Does this restrict performance at all? And if so can it be replaced with a decat pipe?

Yeah but do I need one? If that baffle
really restricting performance?[/b]-

Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Whether or not you need one is probably a question only you can answer, Kris. I can't imagine it will make a big difference in terms of raw power, but as Tesco say every little helps! Also, you'd get a nicer sound I would imagine, and probably a little lift in torque also.
Overall, it's probably one of the most cost-effective ways of gaining a little bit more kick. Tuning NA cars extensively tends to result in diminishing returns, but a few basic mods can probably make a noticeable improvement for a relatively small outlay. Mine has a de-cat, filter and exhaust and sounds wonderful. I would consider the money well-spent for the noise alone, regardless of any power gains. But its also around 20lb/ft up on the standard car, which is pretty good for an NA engine imho. Give it a try mate!!

Re: Mister Two? Do you have a Cat?
Hi Kris,
Rev1 UK with the baffle HAD 158bhp, Rev2 with the CAT had 154bhp so it's less restrictive than the CAT. Could imagine a small increase with the de-cat pipe over the original 158. 
for both Rev1 and 2??
A few people have just gutted the baffle rather than replace it with a de-cat.
Did have some pics of it but deleted them after it was sold

Hmm, sounds like a plan.

Sounds good matey but isn't that for a turbo though or does it not make a difference?
