    So I've got MOT due next month on my vts. I've got a cat to fit.

    Do I need gaskets or anything or each end?

    Cheers

    I think I might leave it on for good tbh. I know of a couple of guys who have had on the spot emissions tests and got raped.

    It's already blowing from the back of one of the gaskets anyway.

    yeah mate just get a full set of gaskets should only cost about 8 quid for them all front to back. One less thing for it to fail on.

    We'll see. I'm gonna fit it today.

    Got a gasket for the front. New clamp for the back and some exhaust sealant for good measure.

    I would fit gaskets if I were you

    If it fails then you have to remove the CAT again to fit them anyway so for the sake of £8 you might as well

    Apparently there is a gasket for the front and nothing for the rear. That's why I got the sealant.
