Exhaust sounds sick mate , looks like great value aswell.
I'll definaetly be investing in one soon but am with wazzer , I'd probs get a sports cat put on to save hassle at MOT time.

Reckon welding on one of the 3" sports cats to the downpipe work alright? There's a few on eBay for about £100.

soon find out mate, I'll have a measure up once it arrives and let you know. Might lose the 3 bolt join on the downpipe but I'm not particularly bothered about that

It's this sort of thing I had in mind to weld on. Hope it fits and passes emissions lol.

Lads, wouldn't it just be easier to get a special MOT rather than going to the trouble of having a CAT fitted?

It's a nightmare trying to get one over here. Might put the feelers out though

My exhaust is currently in the home of Elvis; Memphis, Tennessee :afro:
