Blue Flame exhaust question (downpipe and cat)

[fivepointnine]

I have to start thinking about MOT time, my LCR has a 3" blueflame turbo back with decat. I dont know any "friendly" MOT guys so I need to get it correct. Is it as simple as bolting up an OEM downpipe and cat to the Blueflame catback section? Or is my only option getting a 3" sports cat and praying it squeaks through on idle emissions?

Fitting a standard downpipe and CAT would more than likely see you through an MOT.

But a decent Sports CAT should pass you anyway, as long as your car is running okay.

Fitting a sports cat will be easier than the standard decat and downpipe. Plus you wont actually lose too much HP with the sports cat too.

LCR has a twin cat set up, i doubt it would bolt straight on to the blueflame.

I have the stock cat here and from looking it over it APPEARS to possibly work if I use the OEM downpipe to the OEM cat to the catback section of the blueflame, as the downpipe section starts single, then goes dual, to the dual cat, then back to single. Like this: -==-
