And is that because it says in the handbook there is supposed to be a CAT (one or two) and a visual shows if there isn't even one - never mind the emmission situation.

Every petrol car after 08/92 has a cat if its missing it fails and would fail the cat test but if you smash the guts out of it and it looks like a cat then it would pass that side of it and fail on a cat test

I've never done something like that but my experiences of messing around with exhaust clamps, manifolds and unions has taught me it is a pain in the backside job.
