I've bought a 35i and it has a Milltek system on which looks like it still has the front cats but the middle ones removed, car sounds quite fruity :thumbsup:

I know they pass with middle ones removed but I'm not sure how people go on with front ones removed.

I think in this day and age with the environmentalist movement things might become more and more strict?

Guy - yes, I did mine a couple of years back, see my thread here:- viewtopic.php?f=23&t=99202
I added the MOT emissions results too and both MOTS since passed ok.
Enjoy the extra power!
