I have my first MOT since fitting the PPE Header and an MWR high flow cat in a couple of weeks and frankly I'm pooing myself that it will fail an emissions test. Has anyone got any experience with this set up who can hopefully put my mind at rest. I'm having nightmares about having to re-fit the standard system! Haha

I have a high flow cat on my 2zz. No problems for last 2 years but it's getting close to failing. I say just put it through and find out. (Remind the MOT people that the car MUST be up to full running temperature when they do the test. It's the LAW!)

Thanks for that mate.

I run the car on shell v power nitro+ all year round but I was wondering if putting some fuel treatment in the petrol for a week or so before would help? Or could I simply give the car a good spirited drive on the way to the garage? Also I bought the exhaust used from a member on here, will that make a difference?

Have a sprited drive to the mot station and I'm sure you will be fine. As long as the cat has a good amount of heat inside you will pass with flying colours!
Another one won't hurt  .....

Cool. It's always good to see the results of a modified car.
