I don't as my fuel cut on throttle-off has been disabled.

I just get flames

Nice what I want

Fastbikes76 gutted his cats, and fitted additional plates that threaded into the exhaust before the O2 sensors, to fool the sensors into thinking that everything was fine.

Can you explain a bit on that Araf

[snowwolf]

Bits will be on their way Neil, just need to book in to have them fitted

Interesting sleeving. That reminds me that I need to get a tube of silicone, to fill mine.

Yes Araf the sleeping is really robust, far far better than original plastic ones,

ARAF said:

My (cheap) ones have a synthetic rubber sleeve, but it isn't tight, which is why I'll fill them with silicone before leaving them to the ravages of under-car life.

These new ones are thick cast aluminium , old ones were like yours a synthetic sleeve.which were crap
