Default Escort Cosworth MOT without CAT

Hi,

I have a Mongoose exhaust on my escort cosworth but it doesnt have a Cat, what do other people do when its MOT time who have a car that should have a CAT but doesnt, is there no way it will pass the emmisions with the CAT


Cheers
Dan

You need a place that 'understands' these cars

I know someone, but it's a bit of a trip from Blackpool

Best bet is to get a cat and have your exhaust cut and moddified so that the is a section that can be removed and a cat bolted in for mot time.

I had this done on another car, basically they cut out a section and weld on end joints at either end so it can be removed, and a cat bolted in. Cost me £50 cashy cashy at a place in coventry that build stainless exhausts.

Or get really pally with an MOT station or offer some cashy cashy to get it passed.
