M4tti,
My set up is pretty much what most people choose to do as in remove the cats and sleeve the rear cans, some people half sleeve but mine are fully sleeved. Tested on a DB Meter at about 117. Hope that helps?

I think it's called "ASBO setup".

Happy Birthday Steves car!

I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the Racing Reds.... just totting up a possible "to-do" list whilst my car is off the road!

Oh and you're welcome to borrow the machine polisher and give it a proper clean up as another birthday present. What's the worst that could happen!

Once I get it back you would be welcome to take it up the road and see if it compares to yours. As for the polisher, it could do with a good session to get some polish on it before the bad weather sets in.

A very apt description I'd say having followed/passed/been passed by Macey on a few hoons! And I can testify to the 117dBA as I measured it! OK it was on Macey's dB meter and I don't know if it was properly calibrated wink

My CCC's with cats in were far more civilised, not a raspy as a de-cat with loads of pops and bangs on overrun.

Cats MkIII Tuscan S sounds nice, not sure what set up he's running

Oh and happy b'day Macey's Tuscan!

Happy birthday To Macey's car - does the birthday boy's guardian have to get the drinks in??

Mine's catted (new cats since it buggered the originals within the first 6k) with sleeved blue flame cans.

Happy birthday Macey's Tuscan. Mine's b'day is 17th December and is possibly one of the first mk3's. I have a big bore exhaust from ACT, cats in and fully sleeved ACT cans, see below:

Sounds just right for my liking with loads of pop and bangs without being too loud.
