ive just had a scoobyclinic 3" decat exhaust fitted and absolutely love it.
i know ill have to go back at mot time to have it tested.
but how does the law stand from now to then.
what can the police do.ie take a retest before, or do you.
any ideas

 

Worse case, they can seize your car.

 

Most likely case though is a slapped wrist and a producer to put it right... but then again how many times has your car been tested?

A mockery of a farse.

 

had its first test in august.
its an 04 sti

 

Couldn't have put it better.

Never been stopped myself, but I guess theres always a first time.
Part of the reason for going with the Spec D and STi back box, all the tuning is hidden and less likely to attract attention.

 

I meant tested on the road by the police.

 

My racebox exhaust and spec d are the same, doesn't look or sound like a boy racer car.

Once I get my discreet spoiler on I shouldn't even get unwanted attention from people who know what a sccob actually is.

 

Well hurry up and get that discreet spoiler fitted
I want to be attention seeking

 

Does anyone have any issues with Mot if the cat is removed?


Matt.

 

Should not have too many - some times on other turbo cars taking the cats out can lead to leaking seals on the tubby as the back pressure is reduced but other than that should be fine - oh yeah FLAMES - sometimes depending on your fueling and other mods you may get some flameage due to the unburnt fuel hitting the hot zorst and lighting up

Kp

 

for the last 8 years i havnt run cats with any of my cars..... just find a freindly MOT station that helps.

 

A lot depends on the age of the car. For cars made after a certain year I believe it is illegal to remove the cat from your vehicle?

 

wasnt it 1991?
