MOT:failed emissions

[BaS2]

here goes: had a exhaust fitted @ Longlife in May 2005, both CAT's were removed and in its place a 'sports CAT' was used. Just before the Longlife exhaust was fitted, I had to MOT my car, which passed OK on the O.M.E. CAT's, this year it failed, on emissions. I know the owner of the garage and he tried all sorts to get the car to pass, but no good. So, I returned to Longlife, explained the situation and because the CAT was still under warranty they changed it for a different type, result: passed MOT.

This is just information for others who have used other aftermarket exhaust suppliers, I'm still very pleased with Longlife, their system and the no quibble about the CAT replacement, but it might pay to have your car check for emissions after an exhaust upgrade.

Had exhaust done at Longlife with turbo back system with cats removed, couple months later I had the car mot'd and passed on emission test.

What type of cat was it swapped for?
