If the original downpipe with cat in is still on then MOT should be no problem.

Yes it should pass with one cat in. But you wont really know until its tested Anyway you would be better off getting a scoobysport D/P and keeping the centre cat in. More gain this way, and should still pass MOT. Removing centre cat doesnt release much apparently.

Your proposed setup would probably release 10-15bhp at a guess.
