I’ve been meaning to do something with the exhaust on my td5 - any mot issues with removing the cat or even going to a straight through pipe?
I've heard plenty at shows with a straight through pipe fitted. Not too loud either. The turbo shuts them up.
I've got one in the shed awaiting fitting but i need to get the head gasket sorted first, then an MOT. Just discovered it ran out last Wednesday:eek:
Sound out your MOT tester before removing it, or ask on here for someone with a Landy friendly tester.

Thanks. I’ll have a look for a pipe and ask the local garage that does my mot’s - the last 3 have been fine with no mention of emissions or anything more than an advisory so they seem pretty fair

I'm lucky as my tester is a mate. When i said i was looking at fitting a decat downpipe to my Ibiza, he advised against it. I argued that it would bring the boost in at lower revs and is a popular mod, again he said not to bother, but this time smiled. I said i was going to get one and swap it around at MOT time. He then said that one was already on the car...
I knew the previous owner had had it remapped. I didn't know he'd put a decat on.
But wouldn't that mean a failure? i asked, again he just smiled.

Extra donuts for that man.
 
Should probably start a new thread (sorry for the hijack!) but can anyone recommend a decent option for pipe or one/makes to steer clear of?
I bought mine at Great Billing 2019 and it's not fitted yet. There are systems for sale on ebay. Just check the feedback.
Or wait until the summer and go to a show. It looks like we might be allowed out again:eek:

Ooh Billing 2021 - now there’s an idea! Conveniently it’s a few days after my 40th so might even get away with spending some money !!
