Title: 1.8t Downpipe Sports cat and non res cat back.
Post by: Gary022 on 28 August 2012, 18:48

looking to upgrade to a stainless steel exhaust system , would obviously love a straight turbo back decat exhaust but cant be bothered with the hassle of changing it every time i need an mot.

does anyone know if the system with a sports cat would pass the emissions test?.

dont want to fork out £850 to find out it doesnt  :lipsrsealed:

Far as i'm aware it should do! My old s13 had a sports cat and went through no problem, just make sure you warm it up nicely before you get there :grin: or warm it up on the way :wink:

I have a full system from Longlife and their 200 cell sports cat and it was fine for MOT, if you are getting a custom one they normally give you the option of quiet, mid and full sport
I have mid on mine and its pretty loud, full sport I think my ears would be bleeding so make sure you listen to the differences before you get one

Must have been a friendly MOT man as your car would fail the emissions test without the cat.

Year has nothing to do with it unless its pre '92

+1 and if I remember correctly the police give you a hefty fine if they catch you running without a cat
