Not on a 92 car. Legal requirement from Jan 93 onwards iirc

K reg onwards if memory serves?
7. Reason for rejection
1. An exhaust system not adequately supported.
2. A major leak of exhaust gases from any part of the system.
3. A catalytic converter missing where one was fitted as standard
4. A silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition.
5. An exhaust tailpipe positioned so that fumes are likely to enter the driver’s or passenger area.
So I guess #3 above would scupper you. In terms of emissions, the BET (cat test) is from 1/08/92 onwards with a few small exceptions.
Depends on your definition of 'missing' or 'replaced' though I suppose.... lol
