    Baaaad idea.

    Not only will you kill the earth with your emissions ... The EPA will come down on your arse with a $20,000 fine if they find out/inspect it.

    Rather than go the APR route ($$$), get one custom made with a highflow cat, Seb had one made and installed it for $300 for me. It does make a noticeable difference (The downpipe)

    I know of a few guys with rotaries that were slapped with it and had their cars impounded (for a couple of weeks) down here in NSW.

    Once they take a look under and see some exhaust work has been done they stick a meter in the exhaust to check it out.

    But either way, its pretty irresponsible for something that doesn't make any signicant amount of power.

    There are ways around everything.

    But i wont mention them on the forum. PM me if anyone must know the loophole to getting around the fines.

    Thanks for the info. I never thought of adding the dump pipe to my wish list.

    $500 isn't too much compared with what an entire exhaust system costs when you consider the rest of the system is pretty free flowing.

    No, it won't (but maybe Guy can get something similar fabricated for the Polo )

    The only off the shelf is Miltek...at a cost
