As far as i know,you still need to have the pipe put up the exhaust,so the mot tester can check your c/o emissions are not above 4.5%.Thats what happens with mine.
Hope this helps

Sorry mate, as an MOT tester unless your car is pre 75 or on a Q plate you have got to have a pipe up your bottom......sorry i mean a measured exhast emmisions test, however as a pre 85 vehicle it is to a limit of 4.5 % co which can be tested at up to 2000rpm. If your car does not pass this test you probably have a serious problem anyway.
