correct, you can put a decat on any car although putting it on any car/engine produced after august 92 will almost certainly fail on emmisions

De-Cat it, then just swap back for MOT.

Easy enough.

Balls to the cops.

The worst that can happen is they send you for an MOT IIRC.

having a cat is not part of the MOT. having good emissions is and you can be done for that. IMHO decats are pointless
