De-Cat & passing an MOT
Anyone else done it? I was well shocked when I got the call last Saturday to say my car JUST squeezed through :O:O Didn't think it was possible but I ain't complaining

I didn't even have to bribe the guy . He actually took the MOT more seriously than I thought and failed me first time around for a power steering gaitor, no rear fog light connected and a tyre!!!
Still passed emissions tho

Thats encouraging... mine is up in Nov and im very worried. Full decat, custom manifold, no rear fog light working.
With the new MOT system being bought in..... mayb even beer and back handers cannot buy a certificate?

I keep trying on mine (MY97) Always a shade over...but it soooo close its silly..last time it was 0.2% off on the CO 
Known plenty of cars which are not Subarus with decats that pass with ease (if they are running properly and are in tip top shape).

Yes, my decatted RB5 also passed the emmissions test without it being 'rigged'. Was funny watching a bunch of MOT testers figuring out how the car did it!
A pass, is a pass, is a pass!

Absolutely no idea?
My guess is the only person who would have a vague idea would be my mapper
Before moving 250 miles away it was mates with garages but now i'm kinda winging it
