De cat exhaust mot fail
 
Hi can anyone help? I've got a V3 JDM STI with a de cat exhaust. The sympathetic MOT guy that i used to go to is no longer able to do it for me. Any one know a sympathetic guy who could help me? Or do i need to bite the bullet and splash out on a sports cat exhaust ( will that be good enough to get it through emissions test?).
Grateful for any help guys!!!
Thanks:thumb:

Alot of sports cats still fail the emissions test better holding out for a relaxed garage

I've got a sports cat and it hasn't failed yet!

You could borrow one then put your old one back but lots of work unless the spare one is not already fitted. Personally I would go for a sports cat and turn your ecu down to a lower setting if poss for the test

Same here, it does have to be hot, but the tester knows this and just warms it up enough to pass.

I have a standard centre section with the 2nd cat that i use for the mot for my V3, takes 15 mins to change it and passes the mot fine each time.
