Will 3200 pass mot with main cat off ?

[Sinky]

Took the main cat off my 3200 and the sound is amazing.
Car now due it's mot.
Does anyone know if that would effect the emissions test ?

 

[Contigo]

Yes it will pass without the centre silencer/secondary cat.

 

[Sinky]

Hope so cause I've just asked that question at a Maserati dealer in with at the minute and he didn't think so !

 

[Contigo]

Mate, I have the same on my car (secondary cats and no rear silencers) and it has passed two mot's at different station. Don't take it to a main dealer.

Here's mine

Hope so cause I'm with a Maserati dealership at the min and they didn't think so and stated if it failed they could get me a new cat for £ 2k plus vat !!

 

[Contigo]

Bring it to me mate

Phil your car sounds awesome !

 

[outrun]

Nice bit of mutual appreciation there boys. Sinky, you'll need to get your car wrapped like Phil's too now.

That's Martin's, the lilac *** mobile!

OMG!!!!! lilac tinfoil, hold Phil back! lol

God that's horrific but are those Grigio Mercury wheels for Greg's benefit?

And away we go with thread drift!

 

[outrun]

But if it was the only way to get a Granturismo, would you have it?

 

[Doohickey]

It would depend on how easy it was to get the wrap off and the likely state of the paint underneath but more likely I'd keep saving.

It's coming.....if you defer from the original manufacures EU spec in any way it won't be road legal..ie no insurance!

Sailed through the mot today . The young guy who examined the car was awestruck almost and was that excited forgot to do half the checks. He couldn't wait to sit in the drivers seat !

There you go! Told you so! These cars are tested by emotion only.....
