Its very much work in progress. This is stage two of my planned evolution of the car. Stage one was a free flow exhaust by Pro-Speed (Charlie) in Cardiff. I went up to Cardiff for the day the Friday before last, so just gettingused to it. Charlie replaced the pre cats, improved the exit from the pre cats, replaced the squashed pipe section with decent diameter (a compromise against road clearance), put in main sports cats and then a pair of resonator silencers and wider bore pipe through to the X section. The result is astonishing in terms of the free reving nature of the car and its natural torque. The car has a natural pick up with minimal throttle that just wasnt there before and it flies. It is no louder than the standard exhaust under normal conditions, but just sounds meatier when pushed. Fringe benefit is that it has had a marked impact on economy. last tank over 18 mpg when I would normaly expect 15 or 16 tops!
I have taken some pics of the FD springs install, so if anyone thinks it would be useful, could put together some sort of DIY guide having just learned all the lessons myself! I will be setting the basic ride hight , tracking etc myself first but will get it checked properly after a few miles and let people know my thoughts if there is interest.
