hello,
can anyone help,
my exhaust is blowin at two joins after the cat, i have used alot of gum gum and theres still a slight blow, will it pass its mot as its after the cat so the emissions should be the same (i think)

i dont think its to bad, you can only really hear it blowin when u get passed 4,000rpm nd very slighty on tickover when its cold,
will it be alright if its got lots of sealent on it, (which wont look to pretty)
they cnt fail it for dodgey joints as long as it doesnt blow can they?
Really depends on the test station too. I think some garages would let you get away with a very slight blow.
There is meant to be a universal code of practice. The reality is the rules are twisted more at some garages than others.
There was a guy on FiatForum who owned a right shed, was de-cat as well etc. and the MOT certificate can't have been worth the paper it was written on!
My 75 passed with an absolute sh*tload of exhaust paste at the joint after the cat
put it in for an MOT and see what happens, no of us can tell what will happen
my dad is a m.o.t tester and will not pass a any blow in the exhust, reason being gases can get into the cabin. but like said above it depends on the m.o.t station
i had a slight blow in my last mot, he put it down as an advisory.
give it ago i suppose im sure i can find a dodgey garage round somewhere,
why do you want a dodge? just get it fixedOriginally Posted by matt:
