Wow,

[Simpo Two]

If only the cameraman had been as good as the driver!

Not much keeps up with a Griff 500 if you get it off the line cleanly.

Sounds like a de-cat job.

Well done to outrun the F430 !, although in all honesty it will be blown away above 100 mph as well as in the bends.

Its ok taking the manifolds off but getting the cats out of them is a right bloody pain in the Ass trust me i still have the scares to prove it

[clive f]

Pre-cats are relatively easy, but it's the main cat which is most important in this case.
Nicest solution is to get a pair of racing cats from ACT (quite pricy though).

Why
So you need a pair of new manifolds and a pair of racing cats
That's at least a grand plus VAT if i recall.
Just get the precats removed as they are not necessary, keeping the standard manifolds, then put a shiny V8 Enhancement cat replacement pipe in place of the main cat

It takes me less than 15 minutes to pop the standard one back in for the MOT.

A win win situation with proven performance gains at less than Half the price of the ACT option imho
