No, it will be fine. It's the CAT's that effect the emissions.

It may fail on noise ..... leave standard until you have the MOT!!

Also, you don't want to **** off the tester by appearing like a Chav, do you??

Pete, the Prodrive back box will keep the noise levels well within regulations, its not a "chav" back box, its very discreet and has to be tested by Prodrive to ensure that it doesnt exceed limits, unlike some other backboxes

I know, I am a fan of the Prodrive backbox myself!!

I didn't want the poster messing anything up 1 day before a MOT is all

I chucked the Chav thing in to get some response .... thanks for that

I have already decided to wait until next weekend anyway.
Didn't want to risk cocking up the mot even though a prodrive box shouldn't be a problem.
