just had a quote for a full de cat s/s exhaust tailor made.

hi guys spoke to a company regarding a bespoke exhaust to be made,specifications as follows:

full 4" system

permanent de cat

single back box

removable bung

lifetime warranty/garuntee

all in finest grade S/S

they will need car for 6 hours, to design plan and make for the grand sum of £369 inclusive.

If its permanant, how you going to get it through its MOT each year?

thats what i questioned, i wondering if they have deleted the second cat?

My TT BPU passes with no cats in. Comes in well under the limit.

I'd personally have an exhaust control valve over a bung setup. You can't easily get in and out to swap it over.

Either way, thats a SUPER cheap price mate

does seem a very good price.

whats the exhaust control valve jay? is this something they can do?

back to the cats,,, being a jap import i thought the emissions are default so shouldnt matter anyway

My uk single doesnt pass mot with decats

Where's this at? O.o

i know uk supras wont, thats what they have on there database at the mot stations uk specs. some garages use this to do jap cars, its just not right, thats why they are default

What company is this mate ?

Mine legally passes, which was a surprise to me, something to do with a regulation that was introduced if your car is a 95 or older and isn't in the system (import) then it can have the no cat test apparently. Don't quote me on it though it's what my MOT guy told and it went through the emissions system

Correct. See here:

It was simple enough for me mate.

JDM or UK Twin-Turbo Supra's have to meet cat emission levels, unlike some jap cars where a no-cat test can be performed the supra doesn't fall under this because the GTE engine was sold in this country this is why pre-may 95 NA's can get away with going by no-cat test emission levels.

It depends when it was first registered whether it needs a CAT test or non-CAT test.

As per my post and mine was a 1996 J-Spec.

All sorted today. Got the MOT done at Plume and due to it being an import it called the initial emissions test but passed the secondary main CAT test without any CATs in! Great news for future reference for all imported Supra's.

but as per that diagram even pre-95 TT's need to comply to cat test emissions as there is a vehicle match for the chassis/engine as there was UK twin-turbo's, because there was never a UK NA this is why pre-95 na's don't need to comply to the same levels

I hadn't read your post before I posted that, yes you are right. I was answering the OP whose sig suggests he has an NA.

im currently NA-T nic, which shouldnt make any difference.

i say na-t, i have a pile of goodies waiting to go to na-t.

Imports only need a non CAT test as there are no UK spec RZ, GZ or SZ models

It's still a 2JZ-GE according to the engine code, it's that which'll determine what test it should have.

seems to be conflicting info on this,, the other year it failed on emissions, because it was being tested as a uk spec GTE, i pointed out this was not right to the workshop foreman, and then it was re tested as a default car(not on database) and passed.

We must've had this Old Wives Tale repost enough times now!

The definitive answer is;

All and each any and every T.T. has a "GTE" engine, which's in the database and will need at least one Cat for a straight Ticket.

N/A's have a "GE" engine that's not on the list so only needs to pass the no-Cat test.

VOSA told me that 'old wives tale' in an email a couple of years back.
