hi folks just a quick question i have a 93 wrx it had a standard down pipe but i think 2 inch exhaust still had what looked like a cat on the down pipe and anither cat at the front of the centre pipe and my mate who is breaking his wrx had a 3 inch snake eye down pipe and a straight throw 3 inch exhaust to a 4inch bakbox all stainless he offerd it to me £150 note all in he was strapped for cash so i snapped it up ive put it on my car now but question is will it still be ok at mot wise its a classic 93 wrx import

thanks

 

pre 93 im sure dont need cats to pass mot. my mk2 GTI passed mot with no cat that was same age.

 

My 1995 wrx past with no cats fitted so you should be ok.

 

Hello mate I've got a 95 WRX import and it has had a full stainless turbo back exhaust system for 3years now and it's never had any trouble on the MOT front. Older cars like ours arent obligated by law to be fitted with a catalyst, I believe it was down to manufacturers descretion in those days. But after 98 or somthing, maybe a bit earlier, it was deemed mandatory by law that all cars must be fitted with a cat to pass an emitions test. What makes me laugh though and is a little confusing, is that older cars can pass without a cat. But if they have one they can fail on emmisions if its faulty haha. But anyway to answer you original question you should be fine mate.

Ben.

 

i was under the impression 1992 was the last yr of no cats on a car for MOT, anything after 92 needs a cat,wether the mot guy is friendly in the above cases who knows why they passed

 

i no that wen i had a integra type s import 93 model it passed without a cat as it had a stainless exhaust aswell with just one box and it was ok but just wanted to ask cause i dont want to **** about takin it of for the mot as it sounds the danglies aswell and car seems to run alot better

thanks for replys
