   I have a powerflow exhaust system that splits off into 2 twin exhaust pipes ( total of 4 exhausts) and was wondering if this is going to pass the m.o.t?
   
   Also any other modifications that wouldnt pass a m.o.t?
   
   Thanks ryan

   i also have a power flow exhaust which splits into 2 tail pipes, when i took it to get an MOT i totally forgot it had no cat so it failed, so i fitted a cat and it passed,

   all cars from 1992 onwards have a tighter co2 bracket,which means you need a catalytic converter.

   Wheels must not scrub arches or contact the body in any way. As fot the exhaust I have a single exit powerflow system with a cat and it passes every time but I have to put the standard airbox on because the lambda readings are too high with the induction kit on.

    I have 17 inch alloys and driver side also rubbed on water bottle, to be honest if it rubbed anymore it would of put a hole in the bottle and yet that still passed mot, but I have put back on the standard front suspension so it dont rub anymore

    If you cant go smaller on the wheels how about goin smaller on the tires to low profile ones.
