Anyone please?
What's my other option? Fit a sports cat centre pipe, would it pass then?

You probably won't get a centre cat hot enough to get it to pass, will have to be a downpipe swap.

If it help I have a full bugeye sti standard exhaust including down pipe for sale you could put the whole thing on and drive slowly to the mot station and then swap when you get home. My brother obviously forgot I had it. Only problem is I am in Ascot Berkshire?
