That doesnt affect me as i fit mine back on for 1 day a year,it would be a gutter if youve spent out on a sports cat though

Why? Doesn't say it needs the OE cat - just a cat.

mi9ne has to go back on for mot in 2 weeks, are you better to stick on the day before and give it a wee run? or fine just firing it on and driving it straight there sort of thing

Any car fitted with a cat from the factory needs it for the MOT and will most certainly fail the emissions without but as already mentioned with a friendly tester it won't be a problem

Just one cat in the centre pipe may not get hot enough & work efficently to pass emmissions. Better off with a friendly MOT station or change to a catted downpipe at MOT time.

Why not just fit a sport cat downpipe and be done with it?

a standard cat/sports cat wont fit, so asked about the centre pipe cat. see what you mean rickya about it not getting hot enough, that could be a problem.
