    So happy with it and highly recommend this cheap mod to anyone who hasn't had it done - thanks Mettams Mufflers - best 350 clams ever spent on the car (except the chip)
    have you done the dump pipe as well? what size did you go and did you use stock cat?
    Thanks Piotr

    i'm pretty sure there is a sensor (temp or emissions) near the cat. From memory cars have thrown codes of they''ve been de-cat'd due to the increaced temp or emission levels.

    When they install a cat back exhaust they normally don't replace or touch the cat.

    As for me, I installed the dash cubby and the lower honeycomb grills. God the lower middle grill was a pain to take out. The 2 lower ends did not want to slip in properly. Finally got all tucked in and sitting flush. Looks good I must say.

    Changed my gearbox oil over to Redline MTL, and topped up my power steering fluid...The lateer was an epic job for little gain...

    Unfortunately after pioneering the front strut removal process I had to retire due to the blood rule
