Why do you want them mate. You can't save the world on your own?

Well just driven it back from my garage mate and all is good, one of the cats had come apart inside so it now flows better and pulls much better. The sensors are in front of the cats so no problem there. I used my r8 OE exhaust with a few mods, using just one silencer, little bit of finishing to do when I get a bit more pipe and a couple of tips. It does sound like the dogs donuts!!!!!!

It might be worth having it tuned/remapped sometime....................Chris.

The old r8 system was 2.5" stainless......................I have not changed the headers so no point going to 3".

surprised it didn't trip the MIL light as there usually is a post cat O2 sensor and if the difference isn't enough then it registers a fault code.

easy to get round this using a resistor bssed MIL eliminator that simulates the voltage drop.

also there is no law requiring a cat to be fitted - however trying to pass MOT hydrocarbon emmissions is pretty much impossible without one (it can be done but usually requires some very careful tuning).
