Corsa b help

[Corsa_SRi-x]

I have a 1997 corsa b, it has a de-cat and i was wondering would it pass mot without it? Does it just go by emissions?

[rems]

na it wont pass mate had the same problem with mine, just fit a cat for the mot and take it off once it passes thats the only way round

[Corsa_SRi-x]

Was thinking that mate, but i know the fella i bought it off and he told me it went through last year without a problem. i will just have to get a cat to fit to it

[rems]

hmm strange coz when i had my de-cat pipe fitted it wouldnt go through as the emissions were well to high the only way it would have passed is if he know the mot tested and got him to put it through the mot as a pass

[Corsa_SRi-x]

Maybe he knew the fella that was testing it, how much do you think it would be for a second hand cat? or even a full standard exhaust mate?

[rems]

well a new cat is about £70 try ebay mate

[Corsa_SRi-x]

Ive been looking on ebay i dont really want to pay the price of a new one if it coming off again if ya get me mate, looking for a second hand one just to put it through mot, i think the pipe is welded so i might be better going to a scrap yard and buying the whole exhaust, what ya think mate

[Corsa_SRi-x]

Do ya think it will cost much for the full exhaust off a scrappy?

[rems]

erm tbh wouldnt know wouldnt think it would be too much from a scrappy tbh

[Corsa_SRi-x]

It would be alot handier buying the whole thing, i might give them a ring tomorrow shouldnt be that dear

[rems]

na i wouldnt have thought so all i will say is that if you have to remove it yourself good luck coz being a mechanic myself they are a f**k pain in the arse if its rusted together and if they have removed it make sure its not to damaged and that its for the right car ie 3 door or 5 door

[Corsa_SRi-x]

i hope its not that dear mate and im taking the car to a friend whos a mechanic i know hes doing the work for me

[rems]

would have said £90 at the most

ah thats alright then

[Corsa_SRi-x]

I got the whole system today mate for £45 so im happy enough lol
