Have you had an MoT since having that done?
If so, how did it fare in the emissions?
Where did you purchase the H&S downpipe?
Did you have it fitted with a remap?
If so, how much power did you gain?

Not much louder than standard on idle but it's pretty loud when you boot it and you hear the turbo spooling up more - it's just perfect in my opinion :)


Yours is probably louder than most as knowing you ya polish the inside of ya exhausts monthly to keep the bling looking sparkly :)


Yeah, so? :lol:

The car's due its MOT in June, Andy Forrest told me some have managed to pass the emissions test with no cats but I'd be highly surprised if this was the case when mine gets done. I bought my D/P off a mate who was selling a nearly new one for a bargain price and this along with a Roger Clark Induction Kit and Andy Forrest Remap saw me get 345bhp and the same torque :D

It's not really as simple as that though is it :P

Are there any serious options if your chosen MoT station aint that friendly...

And don't say find another MoT station...

My car goes to a mot friendly garage at no extra cost just as long as your've got you cat/sports cat in the boot,

Just brass your neck and ask most back street garages will do it for you at an extra cost,
