and i know MOT time you have to put you cat back on etc but ive heard VOSA has started doing roadside checks on cars now, has anyone experienced this? or got in any trouble for not having your cat on? I'm really tempted to get one but just dont wanna go through all the hassle.

yes they do checks, but its 7 days to put cat back on, unsur if there giving out fines too

"Many checks are, however, targeted at those vehicles which appear to be exceeding the legal emission limits."   

IE performance cars

No probs.

Chances are you will never get stopped and checked but i wouldnt want the risk or hassle.

They are everywhere in devon see them every week

Could work out less hassle to fit a sport cat.

Get a tdi 

They can give you a fine i believe, also if they find you havnt got one then you change it back to get tested then refit the decat and they catch you again they will without a doubt take it further.
