Hi guys

I need a cat for the MoT (old one had been angle grinded and emptied by owner before me). Are there any places over here that sell them or am I better sourcing one from the US?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Rich

What year is car + engine? How did the previous owner get it through a MOT?

You can get a Hi flow sports cat made by one of the custom exhaust franchises like Longlife or Powerflow that will do the job. May be cheaper than trying to source a replacement..

the car is a 1993 Z28 manual. I think the MoT station who passed it last time were the people who supplied it new so turned a blind eye.

I will get in touch with long life this afternoon, cheers

Could you take it back to the garage that supplied it? Cheaper than buying a CAT. Also will if definitely fail? Do they have specs on the Camaros that they have to conform to? I would take it to a local MOT centre and see what they say.

I've also heard of people passing it if the vehicle has a CAT. Not necessary working!

Hi
I put it in for the MOT a couple of weeks ago and it passed on everything apart from the cat. I would take it back to the place that mot'd it last year but it is a 500 mile round trip!

I think i'm going to buy a universal cat off eBay and have my local garage fit it.

Thanks

There are generic Cats available on Ebay UK for 75 Quid

The Jeep Cherokee one can be made to fit

silly question time now.... as it's a grey import can you not just get it tested as a "cat's not required" jobbie?
