2001 E280 exhaust question

Hi


If I replace the exhaust on my E280 I have been told by a local mot testing station in the UK that I do not need cats fitted, because I will be running on Lpg
I am looking at fitting a new stainless steel system am I right in thinking I will still need the o2 sensors fitted

LPG or not, your car was originally fitted with Cats, therefore you must have cats (or at least appear to have them).
