Well you need a cat for an mot, most will swap it back in when the time comes. Sports cat will save you the bother of that.

Big risk for the tester though, means an emmisions test to carried out on another car. You can't just skip it. Not ideal especially when vosa can monitor the test and increasingly turn up unannounced.
