laws around removing cats on a 06 Japaneses import that was first registered in 2019


Recommended Posts

hi, im wondering the laws around cats and removing them? (i dont understand the bureaucratic bulls*** and the constant changing of the rules when reading the govt rules about it and weather or not it needs to pass a emissions test?

Not 100% sure but imagine the replacement of factory emmision devices such as cats would need to be tested and confirmed to meet factory standards

 

It has been illegal for years but not actively pursued by WOF issuers but something has changed in the politics of it so they are now getting a lot more serious with checks. Previously you could try your luck and easily slip through as many have.

 

Not that we would advise anything outside the law, but decatted factory downpipes very often still slip through as they look factory so testers often don't think anything more of it.

Not quite right either actually, you can still pass a WOF with no cat, as long as you pass an emissions test too, which is an extra cost. 
A friend 'failed' a wof on no cats in his MPS, but elected to do an emissions test, and passed. So he just hands over a copy of the test with his WOF to pass now. 
We were surprised he passed, but it's actually a very lax test, so even with an aftermarket turbo and everything massively modified, he still gets WOFs.

Good to know. Most people would have assumed you'd very definitely fail proper emissions test without any cats.

I'd say you'd still pass, it's something huge like 700g or something, which is super easy to pass. His MPS was tuned, and ran crazy rich, and flew through, nowhere near the limit, and he has no cats at all.

now just gotta contune saving up for the crazy amount it will cost for a catted downpipe lol because i cant get a decatted downpipe unless i get a custom built exhaust which still might be cheap then a cat back and downpipe

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
