hi there
you can't get one 'off the peg'. i had to get mine made up.
takes a fair bit of time to do correctly. cost wise, you'd be near the price of a patterned cat.

hi there
the mot tester still needs to see the cat, even if it passes the emission test, afaik.

When they test it on mot they only test it in petrol mode so the cat would have to comply with regulations.
Sorry

THE MOT Testers Manual is HERE if it helps and Gas powered cars are tested on GAS AFAIK but it must have a cat fitted and working !
