Level of decat - new age
Slight n00b question, I have a 2002 wrx bug and wanted to know what level of decat I can go including uppipe, before having to get a "friendly" MOT place to do the test.
I had a uk turbo 2000 before fully decatted and replacing the downpipe for the std one became a right pain in the ****

I asked this before changing my down pipe...
I was told others have done without issues.. remove centre cat, fit sports car down pipe.
and you should be OK for MOT...
I say this as I just fail my local MOT last Thursday PM on emmisions.. high CO, which I think is the CAT not working correctly....
but Im going for a retest tommorow after a nice long revvy drive to get the cat nice n hot

I've got a bug too mate, you can take out the the uppipe pre cat and the 3rd cat after the downpipe and still pass an MOT.
You will need a friendly MOT tester after you remove the big cat in the downpipe, or swap it once a year
