Who uses aftermarket air filters? How long do they last? Does it just make your motor noisier? Worth a punt?....What is the spray can in the picture?

It just makes it louder......and watch oil treated filters, they can contaminate the MAF sensor.

Does diesel fail MOT without cat?

Unlikely, the OE part is huge.
