Hi everyone,

The centre section on my Zorst has snapped in two and im replacing it with magnex with a resonator plus back box. The problem I have is how do i get it through its MOT now the cat has been removed.


Cheers Jay

Jason,
If it's just the centre you're replacing, you should get away with just a downpipe cat, give it a good roasting and then get the tester to do the emmisions first.

If the DP is still the standard one, you're fine. If it's also catless, find a nice 2nd hand one

That's some good news eh Jason?!

I have heard of the Downpipe cat passing MOTs most of the time too so fingers crossed we wont have to bodge the broken cat pipe afterall.

Speak to you later!
