Gav Missen Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I’ve seen this setup just wondering the legalities of it on the road will be used the odd day of the month as will be mostly used on track/drag cheers Gav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Its definitely a good question I'll look into the mot tester manual now.give me 15min https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles From what I can see it's just sharp edges and emissions so cat related. But I've read alot of info on here about imports and emissions Edited April 18, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I've read alot of info on here about imports and emissions That’s all I could find too if I’m honest as long as it’s not petruding outside a surface to far I don’t see the problem, granted it would be fairly loud on boost but the turbo would keep it quiet on idle etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Emissions Wise the grey area is on this flowchart from the Gov. GT Turbos can get away with it because they are all pre 1995. They have NO UK Equivalent. So you have to run a Pre-CAT Test. Which you'll pass easy peasey. Glanza's though, your fucked. Go buy your tester a beer. As for the other danger. If the exhaust/screwed was level with the bonnet surface you might get away with it, if it sticks out though, id say your fucked, as its sharp/hot/dangerous to people. Comes down to the Police Officers choice imo, they wouldn't be happy with it I guarantee it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply I know it goes down to tester etc he said something about if I use the gt engine I have and get it papered as having that in I’d skip then full car test due to year but yeah depends what Thepolice officer is feeling like 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Always good to know. I think my high flow sports cat was £54. I've seen police doing road side checks before now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
