Default Catalysator

Hello,

My MY93 (big turbo) Escos doesn't pass the Dutch MOT (witch is called APK) because the CO% is (way) to high. I've got a Magnex exhaust system from the turbo to the back so the Catalysator has been lost. Can someone tell me where the original cat was placed? I think it was in the downpipe but i'm not sure, i also would like to see a picture of one.

Have other people had this problem and how did you solve it?

Regards,



Mark

Okay, thanks. Will a 3" racecat in the downpipe be sufficient?

They MAY not go back to DVLA, but they DO go to VOSA, who have the contract to admiinster the MOT's.
CCTV whilst MOT's are being done is next, so less cheating!!
