I believe its an exhaust temp sensor. Most people just tape it up under the car when they fit a decat.

[Lambo Door Kits Ltd.]

or buy a decat with one fitted.

Yep cat temp sensor , it will light a bulb on your dash if the temp gets too high , 900 degress i was told , so the only time it will get that high in the decat is if the car is on fire

You can unplug it under the passenger seat and simply remove it

Thats if you need the cat for an mot but you can always blank the hole off with a bolt or simply leave the temp sensor in and cable tie the wire out of the way
