I know its probably been asked before, but one of my mates exhaust needs replacing on his Sti R reg, and its MOT is due soon. Will it pass if he fitted a de-cat exhaust?

Am I right in saying they are not required on imports for the MOT?
(like my Pulsar got through)

cheers

Does he have any cats left on the exhaust? ie downpipe or centre? You might pass with just one.

Will it still pass the emmisions without a centre cat?

I would have thought so as the PPP on the clasic shape removed the center cat and only left the one in the downpipe.

Cars after a certain year require a cat (94 I think) regardless if it is an import or not. You will probably find the pulsar was before compulsory cat time.

PPP removed one of the centre cats, I think. That still leaves 2.
