So it was MOT time again today and a pass with no advisories. ;D
The only thing I was concerned about was the emissions check. Last year just prior to the MOT I fitted a new Cat (EEC) and then I started getting P0420 codes. Went through checking the whole routine of sensors, leaks, cleaning the throttle body etc etc. Anyway decided on a pre MOT emissions check at our local garage and it passed, at a push. To be fair the guys there are pretty good and know what is needed to get the best result.
I still occasionally get a P0420, so before the test this year I decided to wrap the cat, to keep the heat in and to give it a better chance. Anyway long and short is that the emission results were better, in particular the natural idle CO which was right on the limit at 0.30 % last year and down to 0.19% this year, with 1 rpm difference between the checks
So I'd say wrap a new aftermarket cat and retain the nappies (still got mine to put back).
I must be overtired, I genuinely read the title and thought you had vinyl wrapped a feline friend.😬🤦

It is said that:
Confession is good for the soul !
I have a Cats2U type approved cat and it is wrapped. It always aces emissions testing.
When you think about it, the OEM cat comes with heat shields that amount to a thick wrap.
