I had my first friendly MOT this year.
All the other times it has flown through with no probs.
If you cant find a friendly MOT'er then your only options are to get a sports CAT or put the orgival turbo kit on for your MOT each year.
Pure hassle I know.
Sard did a sports CAT exhaust section I think. You could get one of those and a then have a straight through section made up that is the same dimensions so you could just swap that in and out for MOT's. Saves taking the whole tubby off.
