i forgot its a j reg (1992)

i got a j reg sri and that doesnt have a cat on it.
dunno if that helps

novas don't need a cat to pass an MOT. Altho you might have troubles with emissions, and could fail on that.

j plate is fine

get an Sri exhaust manifold and a GTE downpipe and system

that should unleash a few horses and will decat it too

make SURE u get the sri manifold tho

its the only one with a lambda probe hole :)
