its not really a "cat" its a particle filter, so therefor can be replaced with a straight through pipe

as the mot only tests the thickness of the smoke, you can adjust the power screw on the pump to get it into the requred spec

The MOT requirement is not to have a CAT fitted, but that the vehicle passes the emissions test, so you can replace the cat downpipe with an earlier straight downpipe.

I asked this question on a different topic....

Everybody argued about it being a cat or a particle filter but everyone agreed that neither was needed!
