hey all, just a quick question realy on mot's and the cat.

recently i took the cat out and replaced it with an aussie dp and was wondering if i will fail the mot because of no cat? i beleive that a few people have said that their gt4's have gone through the mot with no cats too so was wondering if i will need the cat back in for mot or ok leaving it with the aussie pipe... its a 94 plate JDM model if that makes any difference

You'd be very lucky to pass the MoT emissions test unless you find a 'friendly' MoT tester

lol, what do all the others do then as im sure most have taken the cat out? just put them back in for mot time?

i have a friend that may well be pursuaded but i still have the cat at his garage if needed

Fitting a "sports cat" is also an option? Think a few guys have fitted one?

but then id need to rid of the front aussie pipes and re-buy the aussie front pipes with sports cat bit, and thats insane price from fensport..

not due till like next july, just wondering what the best thing to do would be as i like it with no cat.

SOme of the aftermarket exhaust manufacturers, (decent ones), cna weld in a removable cat and provide you with a straight pipe so that you can exchange the pipe/cat when necessary

oooo, that sounds good.... any recomendations as that sounds quite alot cheaper than going the aussie route when i already have aussie. lol

The Aussie cat is in the flexi section not the downpipe

I wouldn't recommend it whole heartedly though. It's about an inch too short to be up to their usual standard of fitment

good good, il keep my aussie mild steel pipes then. lol, seen as the stainless cat version is rather steep in price. :O

il just have to see how much the mot man will take. lol
