Technical Catalytic Converter

[volvo_saint]

I have a 1993 Fiat Uno 1000c ie engine.

If I remove the catalytic converter from the car - will it have any side effects?

Would like to fit a straight pipe instead....

You'll have to have the cat fitted for MOT time, for emission testing. You might have to do something about the Lamda.. Don't think you will though becuase it's before the cat in the system. Didn't even know de cat pipes were available for Uno.. or you going to fabricate?

here in Malta such things dont need testing....so out with the catalytic converter....

All right for some! should be no problems them. I'm not sure fi an Uno has a exhust temp guage.. but the only other person i knew to do a de cat had an FTO and it stayed on permantly. This should cause you to much problem though becuase i highly doubt it has one.
