I'm in the process of replacing the rusty exhaust on my rs1800i. Do I require a cat for it to pass mot or were they not around back then?

It goes off of the year of the car.
So depends when it was registered.
Mk1 and 2 don't need them.
But if the car had one from the factory, then it needs one.

Yes.
Or at least it is here in the UK. It may not be true for our European cousins.
