There is nothing wrong in having a "cat" fitted for when you take the IVA test, other than that when its time for the cars MOT then the car will ALWAYS be tested on emissions at the more stringent / tougher to pass level , so at each MOT you would have to refit the "cat" ,

also , even if you change the engine after passing the IVA with a cat, you will still need to pass the stricter emissions test, as the "age" of the engine as fitted at IVA time stays with the car for life.

But, nothing at all stopping you fitting a cat .
