Another annoying precat question

[Anonymous]

I think removing the precats is a win-win situation.

I can't see how oil loss/engine wear is going to get worse by removing them and you are removing at least one problem and the anxiety that comes with it.

I paid a local mecanic £90 to remove mine (but he's someone who i have been using since i bought my first car 17 years ago) - best £90 i ever spent.

I've got absolutely nothing against precat removal, in fact I might even get it done myself one of these days!   But... how can spending £90 be a win-win situation if your precats would have never given up ?  
I think Roger hit the nail on the head with his post (4 choices).  Although the possibility of precat failure is very real, there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that every Roadster will suffer precat failure within x miles, let alone during it's whole vehicle life.  Who knows what % of Roadsters have suffered precat failure ?

The other thing to remember is that there is the possibility of leaving some of the matrix in the chamber as dust, which would be just as bad as precat failure, which is why if I were to get mine gutted I would only take it to a reputable outfit such as Silverstone Performance.

Just my 2p worth.

Fair Enough - but its my opinion that its better to get rid of something that could potentially cause a catastophic failure if there are no issues caused by removing them. Thats what i meant by win-win
