If your running a turbo back milltek system is it not a pain in the ass to revert back to the standard system for MOT?
If it has a sports cat you'll have no mot issues.

Why would you need to?

For the emissions test!

My BCS has a sports cat, passed its MOT 2 wks ago, well emissions anyway!
Nick at R Tech last friday said last friday that he knows a lot of Milltek lads with sports cat who failed on emissions, that really surprised me! Is this really the case!? :-o

Really! Would be massive hassle changing over (and back again) every year!

Yeap, Nick's statement threw me completely!! If i'd thought there was any way that my shiny new sports cat exhaust would fail on emissions, i'd have given it a miss and chosen an alternative!!

If it is a sports cat from BCS then i would assume its 200 cell, i've always known a sports cat to be 200 cell and a race cat to be 100 cell. BCS do offer both though in there systems.
