Cat for MOT

[willy 0329]

i think this is my old car and it failed last time with the de cat but passed no probs with the cat

had this prob with a vts not long ago- use some injector cleaner and go for a good fast blast as i was told to by the tester and it went straght throw. it worth a try anyway

'94 should pass easy with a de-cat.

emmisions limits are fairly high for pre '95 (m reg and earlier) cars.

my valver's passed with the de-cat on for the last 3 years.....

I'm thinking of gettin mine de-cated after my MOT in April, but can you feel/ hear much of a difference? I'm guessing it unleash's a few bhp otherwise no one would be doing it?
