Went for MOT No Catalytic converter!

[Buellie]

Hi

I have found a buyer for my 182 and agreed to put a new MOT on the car. Went to test centre (not MOT'ed it before) and there is a straight pipe with two lambda sensors connecting into the Miltek rear pipe. I therefore did not get the MOT. What is my best option?
I could get a cat put in from an exhaust fabricators near me (not sure on price yet), or buy a Cat from cats2U for around £110 but not sure it would connect properly to the Miltek by the time I pay someone to fit the Cat2U one maybe the custom one would be cheaper. I never knew about the missing cat on purchase unfortunately, just found out.

To be fair they are pretty okay, but could no pass it, as is. Also I did not want the buyer to have my predicament in a years time. The guy that I bought it from "forgot" to mention this

Itll be sleeved for the milltek, so you'll need a cat thats also sleeved

As already mentioned. It’s sleeved so you should be fine.

this is what I did previously

Excuse my ignorance what do you mean by sleeved? Will the custom exhaust guy (pipe craft Basildon) know what this is?

 

[Buellie]

Not sure what sleeved is, but the exhaust place ( Pipecraft Basildon) should be able to sort it for me hopefully

Sleeved is one pipe slid over another rather than bolted together.
