MOT Time. Need advice and a cat please.
 
Hiya
I've got a de-cat WRX Bugeye ant MOT is due end of month.
Does anyone know if I need the 1st or 2nd cat from the turbo, or do I need both of them?
Has anyone got cat/s for bugeye for sale or know of any for sale?
Cheers

Where are you, I could loan you both if you are local to the Swindon/Oxford area?

Thats a great offer, not many around like you ! :thumb:

Myles 08 May 2010 09:54 AM

Its no hardship really, they are sat in my garage waiting for me to fail the next MOT, so if someone else can benefit, even better!

Hill's scoob 08 May 2010 09:56 AM

Cheers for offer Myles but in Cumbria. Do you know if I need both or will 1 do?

Myles 08 May 2010 10:01 AM

I passed MOTs with the second decat on (the one after the downpipe) and the original downpipe on no problem, and my first MOT with the prodrive sportcat will be in Aug, but I hope if the cat gets hot enough there will be no issues. Are you decat or sportcat?

Hill's scoob 08 May 2010 10:10 AM

De-cat as far as I know. Not been under it yet but been told it's a full de-cat cobra system. I know it's loud enough!

Myles 08 May 2010 10:13 AM

Keep bumping this one up mate, Im sure someone in Cumbria will be decatted and would lend you the OE downpipe.

Hill's scoob 08 May 2010 10:20 AM

Cheers mate will do.

Spoke to Bob Rawle about this as going to decat mine (2nd Cat)and assured if you leave the Pre cat it should still pass emissions

Hi Myles.Had Ninja downpipe with 100cell sports cat fitted at Scoobyworld.Drove around to get hot and took in for MOT and asked for do emissions test first,which they did and no problem.Would like to have helped Hill's Scoob,but my complete old system nicked when moving house.lol

Hill's scoob 08 May 2010 02:50 PM

Cheers Rosstech83,
has anyone out there passed an MOT with only pre-cat in and de-cat the others behind the turbo?
If this is right I should be ok

It might be worth checking out where the local Scooby boys take there cars at mot time.if you fit std downpipe back on car should fly through even without any of the centre cats.It might be worth trying it with just the centre cat on as this will only take you 10 mins to fit and make sure the engine is hot when you take it .

Hill's scoob 09 May 2010 10:42 PM

Thanks for advice midnight gonna try and get hold of downpipe and then do emissions test before MOT.
Anyone got a standard downpipe for sale?

Hill's scoob 10 May 2010 06:25 PM

Bttt
anyone got a bugeye downpipe with cat for sale?
