Question Will my car pass MOT?

Right the only cat i have left on my car is the one in the up-pipe, the rest of the exhaust has been replaced with quality H&S items.

So will it pass

If not can i get away with putting the middle pipe cat back in temporarily?


Car is 02WRX with no other mods apart from induction kit.

as far as i know it should pass as long as it's in good condition. that's why i didn't replace both of them when i changed my exhaust for an after market one.

It will probably pass; make sure that its properly warmed up (by you...) before the emissions test.

are there any additives i can put in the petrol tank, just before the test to reduce emmisions, i have heard of such things but do not have any expirience with them.


Thanks for your answers already guys

All you will need on a well maintained car is a hot catylitic converter.
