[W126 Coupe] Catalytic Converter questions

[Sharan Bains]

Your insurance policy will also be INVALID if you have removed the cats and 
NOT informed the insurer.

Any modification to the car MUST be informed to the insurer - otherwise in 
the event of a claim, if the loss adjuster finds a modification not 
communicated during the policy prior to the incident, the policy cover can 
be cancelled with immediate effect.

Given that removal of the cats can give a 5%+ gain in performance, I'd 
suggest that this is a significant enough perofrmance gain to be making the 
insurer aware off....
