Removal Of Cat...legal?

Hi, i've heard that on some models you can legally remove the cat and put a straight through pipe in its place...

Whats the score with this? I want to remove it if possible but am worried it will fail the mot - either for the fact it has no cat when it was built with one and also because im presuming the emmissions will be higher....

For info, it's a sept'92 import N/A

Cheers

Adam

Only applies to imports without a direct UK comparable version. Allowable on turbos as no UK MR2 turbo listed, but as the NA was sold here, is n't permitted.

Unless it was registered before a certain date, can't remember when, Aug 91 I think so before J-platers were registered.......

I think :blink:

Have ben reliably informed (by two peeps i know who are MOT inspectors) that i dont need one, think anything registered before 92 is ok, so J platers like mine are fine. Although made with cats, they were not a legal requirement untill someitme in 1992..OOOOOOOOOR, if it will pass an emmissions test without one, not likely but if it did you dont have to have one!:)

For UK supplied cars:

Catalyst optional up to 1992, compulsory afterwards

For imports

If UK equivalent, then as per UK car

If no direct UK version, then cat optional.

do a search .. I've put up a scan of the MOT testers guide ..

Only pre 92 NA's and pre 95 Turbo's can be de-catted ..
