No it won't pass an MOT without the cat's.
On the WRX there are 3 cats, up, down and front centre pipe. If you still have the front centre cat in place it may just get through if you make sure the cat is nice and hot. |

If a cat was fitted as standard then it must be present at time of test regardless of emissions!

As we know some scoobies have up-pipe cat whereas a different model but the same year (i.e an STi ) does not. What if it's a 99 PPP, is the MOT tester aware that Prodrive removed the centre cat, after it's 1st registration date. |

i'm not sure the test is that bothered if it has 1 cat or 27..............
the reg is more about not being able to "tune" a pass without a catalyst present at all.......
