hockeyedwards 200 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 'Technically' MOT failure would likely fall under modifying OEM emission equipment (or worded something similar) if you got the mid pipe as its 2nd cat delete. However, the primary cats are all that are required for F cars to pass UK emission laws, but obvs with homolgation 2nd cats must be needed to comply elsewhere in the world. I tend to get mine MOT'd at a local garage rather than Lexus dealership for this reason. Lexus video the interactions so I would imagine it be tricky to get round 2 cats missing... haha. I also leave valves open, had my system on for 2 MOT's without issue now š. in terms of resale, yes value could be lower, but I've kept all the original stuff (on display in the garage). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ā Aviva, by far the cheapest (for me). Only been driving/had my licenseĀ for 3 years, went from a 1.5 Honda civic to the ISF. Insurance is cheaper than the 1.5 Honda LOL. Mods are sometimes free to add on i.e. my muffler delete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless that is your goal, in which case crack on š Quote Link to post Share on other sites
