Have a search...plenty of info to support your needs

Using the term 'HFC' in the search bar will help you out too.

Hi

I bought the Berk Hi Flow Cat from mvpmotorsports.com

Fantastic piece of kit, doesnt throw any CEL so dont need a spacer or another sensor.

i recently took my decat pipe off and replaced it with a high flow cat to get rid of my cel light too. Didnt really notice any loss either, maybe a little less responsive on the throttle

The extra £20 I have to bung the local MOT place to get it to pass the test each year.
CEL lights if you don't have the right tweaks.
Might cause a lean spot

TBH I've run the OEM cat, the Berk HFC and the Berk decat, noticed little or no difference with the cat changes alone other than they made my car run lean between 6-7K RPM.

I now have a Berk decat which would throw a CEL on it's own but I also have the Flash Pro on my ECU and have the 2nd O2 sensor checks disabled, I also have it tuned so I don't get the lean spots caused by breathing mods.

Hi sanchez

Decat pipe - Could throw CEL and wont pass MOT.
Hi Flow Cat - No CEL and May pass MOT.

Power Gains are very similiar, maybe extra 1BHP or 2
