I've bought from a forum member a pair of front pipes, with the pre and primary cats, that were replaced due to failure of one of the cats while under warranty.
My idea is to remove my fully functional pair, and fit these, suitably modified.
I intend to DIY a set of sports cats front pipes, having the facility at work of skilled stainless steel TIG welders!
So cut out the front pre-cats, open up the squashed section, cut out the restrictive 600 cell primary cats and fit 200 cell sports cats, then weld a Lamba socket behind the cats.
Looking at the squashed section, either 'larini' style dual pipes, or simply open up the squashed section making it deeper 'fabspeed' style.
Can I be cheeky and ask anyone with the larini ones, the pipe diameter of the dual pipes used under the steering rack?
Regarding the 200 cell sports cats, there are a few that sell them, anyone any experience of good ones to buy, and those to avoid?
For those that have not seen the US Fabspeed front pipes, see below.
Cheers,
Mike
