Magoobus Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hi i have a full decat on my 96uk classic turbo wagon. I have been told by a certain specialist that there is only a cat in the downpipe and that i need to put the standard downpipe on to pass the mot. I'm sure people talk about putting the centre cat in for the mot.Changing out the downpipe looks like alot more work.

There are "friendly" MOT stations out there
frank c Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I'd try it with the mid section first. Just remember to give the car a good roasting to heat it up. Obviously no good if the mot guy doesn't test it straight away though. Let us know how you get on.
iainc Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 My mates cataluyna went through on just the centre section and that was at af noblesGordy My old 94 wagon damn near passed with no cats Centre cat on and it flew thru' it.
Magoobus Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks for the answers. I thought the guy was speaking rubbish. He tried to say they only had cat in front pipe and sold me the front pipe cat. Does anyone know where i can get or borrow a centre section cat pipe in the Aberdeen area?

euan_r Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 most have two. a small number have a resonator instead of second cat.
boris b Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 MY 99 UK Wagon has recently been through MOT.... Straight centre section courtesy of Gus and standard downpipe with cat on... ( Standard centre section in hut ) No problems at all , guy said that emmisions were good...
gus the bus Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 My mates cataluyna went through on just the centre section and that was at af noblesGordy Very surprising but good to hear I was always told that the CAT needeed good temp to pass on just a centre section CAT with all others removed.
james666 Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 my95 wagon went through with no pussies on it!! but did have standard centre on which had the internals removed with BIG hammer and chisel!!!
iainc Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 most have two. a small number have a resonator instead of second cat. Imports (ie WRX and STi) have a resonator, UK's all had a CAT AFAIK.
gus the bus Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) Imports (ie WRX and STi) have a resonator, UK's all had a CAT AFAIK. Nope! In classics they all had cats in the centre section whether import or UK. Its only in the Newage Impreza that its a resonator box in the centre section with a cat pipe infront of this..

Power Junkie Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 My Type R went through with just the center cat, its in again on wed so fingers crossed again
