Exhaust changes completed today (amazing sounds)

[CHIMV8]

Well,as you are aware, i had a sleeved exhaust and was getting pretty fed up with it,so a post on here got Phil from Salisbury(thanks again Phil) to call round and do a swop, so i got the standard system back on.

Added to that, and advise taken from various PH's(cheers Daz for pics and vids), as to which was the best way to achieve the correct exhaust sound,(Precats out,decat Y piece and standard system was the overall agreement)i contacted Clive and he sent me one of his beautiful Y pieces

All was fitted this morning,and to say i am over the moon is an understatement

The sound is amazing, and i must say the car is vastly improved on the revs,the accelerator feels so light and responsive

Fitting Megasquirt to mine and was thinking of removing the cats. Is there any problem with emmissions or do I have to Find a "friendly" MOT station?

Where can I obtain a plain Y piece without the cat so I can retain the original cat for MOTs if I need to?

Y pieces from Clive F or ACT Performance

I also picked up 30 Bhp from removing my main cat, I got the sheets to prove it

Like i said the revs were so much more responsive,i can easily see why the BHP may go up.

Still to RR after the work at V8D this summer,and the decat must improve even more!

Had conversation with my folks yesterday about going up there for Xmas - they suggested that I might like to get a hire car for the journey so that I'm "more comfortable if the weather is bad and it's cold" ...

... they even offered to pay for it!

(I suspect that they don't want the neighbours twitching curtains when I turn up there again... )

Sounds nice mate ,i might swop mine for the clives Y piece when one turns up second hand ..better than the ACT Y piece but alot cheaper..

Not like me to follow advise,but thanks to you and Dave.....i am so made up with the finished product!!!

I would have thought even second hand, you will get a fair chunk of your money back for the ACT piece?

I'm up for that

Maybe another meet,the other half likes Chats.....and men have car secrets that financially shouldn't be talked about...especially during alcohol!!!

That's why I never answer questions after a few drinks.
If you must say something say, "it was just a couple of gaskets", followed by an explanation of what gaskets are!

Come on then what meet shall we suggest to stop over in 2012,please note I am from Halifax,although distance isn't really an issue...unless its bloody Monaco!?

Oh by the way not one to brag but just landed in TENERIFE for XMAS....enjoy!!!!

Santa Pod seems pretty much in the middle of most people

What dates that?

[CHIMV8]

After all this posting,i've decided i like the standard system,pre cats out and standard Y piece.

Sounds boring, but i have now tried near enough all ways of changing exhaust sound/system.

Clive
The Y piece is the best, but i have done approx 300 miles and want to revert back so shes up for sale on PH

Dave.

Hey, we have proper weather up ere mate,our flat caps turn to winter hoods,our whippets dont move from in front of the fire,and our cars hardly see the light of day.

But when the suns out
