Dave Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 just been up to see the mot guy and he looked in his book and 93 supes dont need a cat test but they do have to have an emissions test he said having at least one cat would bring the emissions down .anyway going in saturday will let you all know what happened.

colsoop Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I thought they were one and the same thing, cats were there to keep the emissions down ? So if you don't need a cat test you get the higher threshold emission level which unless you car is running mega rich you should pass no problem without cats, that was my understanding on it.
