E86's DON'T have secondary cats, they have a pair of silencers in there. Removal of these would, I think be a fail under the new rules, as any parts fitted from the factory should still be present, at least that's my interpretation of the rules.

My car still has the "cats" fitted, but as Steve pointed out, they are empty inside.

Isn't having "cats" that have been gutted now a fail on MOT also Mike ? :?
No, because visually they are still there. Emissions wise, the primaries and their closed loop monitoring more than meet euro standards. I believe the secondaries were added for US/Canadian markets where the limits are lower.

Mine has passed two mot's without a problem.
