There could be any reason for it to fail the MOT on emissions.
Dirty air filter, faulty cat, faulty oxygen sensor, incorrectly gaped spark plugs etc, the list goes on...
I very much doubt your exhaust or intake would be to blame. It may be worth taking it to a garage or getting the MOT station to find the fault.

lol it sounds lush i got the back box for 60 quid off motor world i know cheap skate but it sounds like a full system. i fink as having a low power car no point spending 400 odd quid on a full system cuz it probs dont gain tht much power so cost me 40 quid to remove rear silencer and he weilded it on. but thing is can get too noisy but ths wot a silencer is for!

so is it the exhaust which already come son the facelift ep2? (twin tail pipe) an uve had the silencer box removed , its not loud like a buddyclub exhaust is it. See i like the look of our twin tail pipe exhausts but would like a bit mroe of a roar from it. To do this would i only need the silencer removed, how loud is it exactly not deafening?
