decat v mot

[d3x]

Hi guys, bought a 96 legnum vr4 last week, and loving every minute, except the fuel economy that is..

But got a little question the uk people will be able to help with. I've got the decat pipe but am wondering if it will fail the mot emissions test..

Any help appreciated.

I have read in these very forums that some members cars have passed with the de-cat in place. Depends on your emissions and how rigid the garage is. Some will accept the car with the de-cat pipe in place and they are happy to see that you have a cat for it (ie in a bag in the boot). Others will insist that the cat should be fitted before they will pass it. Some members i know just re-fit the cat for the mot, its only 8 bolts anyway, but its a pain. If you have a good mot centre which is run by human beings rather than jobsworths, use them.
Depends whether they are prepared to "bend" the rules or not. Good luck!!

The chart on their wall does not list a Mitsubishi legnum, so they are not obliged to test the emissions !!
They dont even test the brakes !! :rolleyes4 no 4 wheel rolling road, so just a visual inspection. :thumbsup:

I too have passed two different VR4's - and both were de-catted. I was lucky that my local garage simply asked for the cat to be in the boot each time - and also each car passed the emissions easily ! :thumbsup:
