Yeah, you need the cat to pass MOT. It does have silencing effect too. In general, decatted 16v engines sound raspy too, dunno if you like that sort of thing?]

yes it will fail MOT

not that its actually REQUIRED by law, its just there to bring down the emision levels to within the limits of the law!

if the rest of the exhaust system is crap, it will sound like a lawnmower running on diesel...

tbh I'd just settle for a decent cat-back system (Scorpion or Magnex) & keep the CAT

get the center box taken out if you want it loud mate, no need to loose the cat, a cat back system would be ideal for a better sound!
