Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The vehicle has to comply with certain ADR and other regulations. These do not specify what has to be used, all they do specify is the end result. Manufacturers then decide on what has to be fitted to comply with these rules. It is highly unlikely that a manufacturer will fit something that is not necessary so.
In short it is there so that the particular regulation is complied with. I cannot see any manufacturer that wants to be competitive on price, fitting something costing as much as a catalytic converter when they did not need to.--

If you get caught with no cat there is a HUGE fines that apply.
Just go for a Magnaflow high flow cat. That way you are on the right side of the law
