Default Bugeye WRX decat

Hi, I have a Bugeye Wrx which is completely standard with a possible faulty up pipe. If I replace this with a decat pipe will it be MOT legal?

Can anyone recommend a garage close to Maidstone, Kent who could replace the pipe for me.

Thanks in advance

Best option would be a sports cat fella. It needs a CAT for MOT purposes.

The up-pipe cat on the bugeye WRX is pretty hopeless and you will pass emissions if you de-cat it (don't forget to put the EGT sensor back in.)

The STi's do without this useless additional cat as the higher flow / temps might break up the cat and lunch the turbo.
