only reason y ur car would not pass an m.o.t with one is if u aint got a cat in it mate.

Probably a pretty nooby question here but what is a cat back system? Ive heard a lot of people talking about them but have no idea what one is. Thanks

basicly a full exhuast system
from the Cat (catalytic converter) to the Back (backbox)
Cat --> Back

simple!

[Jimi137]

Fair enough. Pretty simple then. Thanks
