I know you're probably going a little hard of hearing in your old age chap, but have you taken leave of your senses? Your car is stupidly loud as it is, going that last step is the difference between pain and pleasure I wouldn't fancy a long drive with it but there again you do have a very good sound system in there according to BIG_AWOL so you could crank up the Blues and carry on regardless

I'd suggest leaving it till the end of the year, by when I think you'll find Stradale price's have descended nicely southwards You know you want to....

Hi chap,

Well - you soon get used to the standard tubi and having heard Kevs CS I need more sound!

Think Big T might be going the Sub behind each seat route as well

CS prices going soutwards? I want one

The only thing that would concern me with a decat are possible run-ins with the authorities.

I find it very highly unlikely that the emissions from a 360 would be legal without a catalyst (so even if declared your insurance can be declared void), and if you happen to mow down a busload of kids one day god forbid if the insurers decide to launch a full-scale investigation.

Is it really worth it?

Are there any race cats available for a 360? Plenty more sound but without the worry. Certianly worth investigating IMO.

And the problems stated so far to boot, like warning lights and fatigued engines (lambda/AirFuel system not being able to compensate or the ECU not quite know what is going on perhaps?).

GI Jnr's 360 spider is decatted with a Tubi. It's loud but sounds simply awesome!

He's on holiday at the moment otherwise he would no doubt have posted already!

Sorry I'm late!

Do it. Plain and simple. I simply have not met anybody that hasn't liked the sound of the decatted 360.

It's ssooooo bonkers!

Should be playing in Bristol this weekend, so keep your ears open!

Hey Tuan,

I'm the guy that handles Manu's web site, advertisements and other media-type stuff, and as a glorified excuse for taking a peek (or a drool) at your car is there any chance you would oblige me a few minutes to take some photos of your motor; specifically the engine bay with the Tubi in all its glory and if you have the Challenge grill shots of the exhaust showing through it.

We lack some stock photos of the product and Manu is a useless photographer, so if you would oblige we would be most grateful (again, this is merely an excuse - but a worthy one - for me to take a peek at your car!).

I live near the top of Whiteladies Road, over in Sneyd Park.

Or if not, can we possibly work something out for me to visit you? That means I get to take pics of the Murci too!

Sorry if I come across as too "forward", but heck, Manu mentioned you as a possible source of media and I figured it'd be worth a shot hijacking this thead!

Hey Tuan...

Good to meet you. No problems. I'll be floating about tomorrow afternoon I imagine (if the sun is shining). Failing that, I'm at a Wedding Fayre on Sunday 11am - 4pm at the Aztec West Hotel.

The 360 has the chellenge Grille, so you can just go nuts with your camera!

PS: Manu is indeed useless...

I'll PM you my mobile. Give me a buzz.

Tuan
