i think cat might have failed as i had lots of rattleing and loss of power , can i just smash the insides out and put it back on ? Could it be anything other than cat ? Clutch is ok ? Will it defo fail mot ?, will it work same as decat pipe? Should i just buy 2nd hand cat? Any suggestions much appreciated thanks

You can remove the honey comb but just watch some of its not gone down the system causing a blockage,Obviously it will not pass a cat. test but at least you will know for sure this is the cause.Another cat. will be required to pass mot.
