It doesnt need to be in there, they were designed for vauxhalls in other countries as they test their emissions from start of key so they needed something to warm the cat up quicker. As the uk does not do this in the mot test we dont actually need the SAI and it can be removed.

Oh and before you remove it make sure you blank off the whole thats left in the manifold, i used a piece of ally plate cut to the same shape as the valve you unbolt front the manifold.
