New Exhaust - No Catalytic Converter?

New Exhaust - No Catalytic Converter?
Hi guys, Just wondering something...
I took my exhaust off my bike and replaced it with a new one (slip-on) .
I realized that I had removed the catalytic converter which was part of the old exhaust (from headers to end can)
Will the bike be road legal now and still pass its MOT or is a catalytic converter needed for road use.
Also what kind of differenced could I expect to see without it because i've read things from horsepower gains to incorrect factory air/fuel mixes.
Can anyone give me any information on this? Cheers guys!

Are you sure you removed the cat?
Have a look at this diagram - what exactly did you remove?
Ronayers.com Microfiche Honda>Motorcycle>2006>CBR600F4>MUFFLER
What can did you put on? Is it marked as 'Not For Road Use'
If not then shouldn't be a problem for the MOT.
To adjust the fueling you can instal a power commander and install different maps - nornally not required with only a slip-on unless you
have running problems (flat spots, hesitation etc.)
