I think that means a problem with the cats in the exhuast. Oh well, you'll just have to de-cat now

Default What do i do now????

I went back to my car at about 12 last night and she started up straight away with no sign of the light or trouble. I am thinking of putting a new system on anyway ( any advice on what is best?) how does de catting effect an mot? also could someone please tell me how the car would be picking this up, where are the sensor etc? BY the way its a WRX 95 import.
