NC 1.8 exhaust recommendations

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __ NC1 1.8L softtop
  2. I’m based near: __London
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __
    Hi all, I’m currently looking at different exhaust options, I’m not super technically adept so finding it hard to get a straight answer. I currently have stock manifold and mid pipe with a cobra cat back box.
    I am looking to upgrade either the manifold or mid pipe or potentially both but I am worried about passing emissions. Would anyone know if the combination of a catless 4-1 manifold and the I.L motorsport Stainless Steel Race Cat & Midpipe be enough to pass MOT or would I have to look at different options.
    I have read that the manifold is the most restrictive part of the exhaust system and I would like a bit more liveliness from my exhaust.
