Will turbo back go through an MOT as no CAT? if not, how easy is it to fit a CAT for an MOT or does all that get bypassed with the turbo back and therefore costly?

Turbo back should include a sports cat so will be fine for MOT providing everything else is working properly

Decat is when you'll fail an MOT  :wink:

You'll have either 2.5" right through or 3" downpipe to 2.5" system

The standard system is 2.25" right from the turbo

So stock exhaust is turbo back, when people say 'turbo back' system they just mean CAT back with a sports/enlarged CAT/pipe

Turbo back is the down pipe from the turbo the centre section and the back box the down pipe has the cat attached it's better to get a turbo back as pipe work is bigger 2.5 or 3 witch means turbo spools better as its realising gasses quicker
