Ah! quite a big difference!!!!!!
182 manifold looks massive! k-tec said you need an adaptor pipe??

Yep pipes are in the wrong place as you can see the 172 cat won't work on a 182 manifold. A 182 rear exhaust is in a wrong place so no used a 182 cat on a 182 maniofolf with a 172 rear eaxhust system.

Youy cna cut a pipe to fit. Andyman on here did some pics reconetly show what you need.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you have to cut down the 182 cat to fit it

so what do you actually need then? the 182 manifold, the connector pipe, and a 182 cat? don't want to be buying a whole new exhaust system!

ah i can make a de-cat pipe easy enough! got all the tools and i'm a welder!

182m cat cut to fit or get a piece of metal pipe made to fit.

either way youll need a cat sorted at some point or it wont pass mot

True! unless i modify my 172 sports cat. lol

I've known 172's pass before now with no CAT. Then again I've known them fail with the CAT in place and just aftermarket exhausts.

a mechanic told me that if you take the air filter element out it allows more air into the engine which lowers emisions, possibly allowing you to pass the test

He has some sence in that bit if you suck up and dirty since there no filter there you could wreck the engine.
