you will if the engine originally had a CAT depending on the year...any red tops post 92 (i.e cav SRi) will require them. But any car pre aug wont, some MOT stations are leanient and will just pass it some will require you to produce a log book to prove the year of the engine.

So basically emissions are tested on the year of the engine not the year of the car

yeah i can't see how i can stick a cat on if the ecu has no facility for it, i'm pretty p!ssed with them as the car is now noisy as if the exhaust is blowing or rubbing. it wasn't went it went in suggesting someone has been on a test drive .
