As you saw in the previous update one of the exhaust flexys had fallen apart so I temporarily fixed it with a bit of pipe.
The whole decat area was a bit of a bodge, it was already done before I bought it, varied from 1.5inch to 2.5 inch, one corner actually went down to 1.25inch.
So instead of just getting the flexy replaced I took it to a local powerflow to have some replacement decats made up. 2.5 inch all the way through to match the rest of the system
Much better
I also had a remap put on the car by Palmer Performance at the same time, the engine management light had always been on because of the decats, so got that mapped out, and secondary air injection pump got rid of too as it was pointless now. He removed the speed limiter too the power was upped from 344bhp to 365bhp which is ****** impressive on a normally asperated car, the the torque went up from 320lbft to 340lbft.
It has transformed the car! The throttle response it the biggest difference, is so responsive it's unbelievable. It pulls so much harder, the torque is much more useable, and it's always been fast on the motorway, but now it ****** flies!
Very happy, it's given the car a huge new lease of life!
