MOT with De-Cat??????

[Neil2010]

Hello All,

I have a Clio 172 cup which i fitted the 182 manifold and a de-cat to old 172 exhaust pipe from K-tec.
This was a few years ago and i have always had a friend who was an emissions friendly mot tester, however i have now moved to Leeds and my friend has moved abroad!!!

Does anyone know of any mot testers in the Leeds area who may (for a small fee possibly) be let us say sympathetic to my cause????​

TBF i dont think any of the traders will post anything but just try some dodgy looking garage

Tell the garage it's had an engine change and you're not sure what engine the car's come from.

You'll get an advisory saying engine of unknown origin fitted. Bob's your uncle- no emissions test.

My car goes through on that, it genuinely is a conversion though

Engine's come from an early '92 Valver.

Lol u posted this the other day and it got locked. So expect it again lol u can't expect anyone to tell u a garage that would do that openly on a forum lol just put the cat back on, get it mot'd then take it off again

 

[Budgie]

It only got locked because he posted the thread twice.

your on a 182 manifold so get underneath and swap the decat for the cat

easy peasy

Not quite as simple as just changing it back over unfortunately, the 182 manifold doesnt connect straight to my old 172 cat and the rest of the exhaust!

Luckily though my old friendly MOT tester raised his head from beyond the grave so have managed to get it passed again now. Just took me a drive to Coventry to get it done lol

Thanks for the tips anyway folks
