The exhaust I am buying comes with a de-cat pipe but I will retain the original cat fitted to my car.
(Exhaust in photo is a Remus system)??!

/ unuseable again Peter .. just rather you prep yourself for worst case scenario ! 
Often the stud will shear.. and again, you will have to cut it out. || S256SX Airwerks Powered MR2 Turbo || V10 BMW M5 ||- I'd rather spend a few quid and have the exhaust fitted professionaly, rather than wreck half a weekend fiddling under a car with flakes of rust dropping in my eye every five minutes!.. Exhaust garages are geared up with heat guns / plasma cutters and what not.... They do that whole seperating / spliting systems all day long....I'd rather slip them £30-£50 and walk round the town and come back and its done, than spend the afternoon struggling with basic tools !

The old exhaust bolts had to be shifted with oxy acetylene, a large hammer and a large dose of foul language. Best £40 I ever spent! The exhaust man wanted £20 for the job 
but he spent so long tinkering and did such a good job that I had to give him more. Exhaust looks great and sounds meaty. i also done mine in the rain not a nice job at all but when finished i forgot all about the smashed knuckles, soaking wet clothes and 1lb of rust in my eyes stepped back and said a job well done wish i could have had mine fitted for £20 well done that man. jennyt125 wrote:Presume it's not as loud as blackice's Japspeed?!
(I brought his car). I hope its not as loud as the JapSpeed, as I got a BlueFlame on order to replace it as its doing my head in! The Jap's a lovely looking exhaust, and the burbling and popping after a good run makes me giggle every time, but its just too much noise for me...- I just hope its calmer (noise wise) than what I have currently... Like you said sounds great but the novelty soon wears off.... Thinking of replacing mine at some point so will probably go for a blueflame. Watch you don't get any neighbourhood cats stuck up those cans! & Frog!- bassy and mean but not massively loud. I recently added a cone filter on the induction side, which makes the engine sound even better - sweet harmony!*thread hi-jack* & Peter! Am feeling remarkably guilty now... 
Did you get yourself sorted out with one? God knows how many cats are gone forever... 
*on topic* Sounds like just what I want! 
'her' up last week Rev5 Tbar in silver/black so just like yours really except totally standard. Had to spend a few more £££'s but really happy with it so far just a few bits to sort. Should really sort my profile etc out. Still have my grill bent up 'cos I like the idea of maintaining the option but of late been considering getting rid. Weight and all that... hmm.HighwayStar wrote:You know if you'll be at JAE Peter?

MR2 fits the bill perfectly.- something I missed since selling my previous Rev3. However, speaking from experience, I am not going down that route again! I just couldn't live with the hard ride, which would be at odds with my MR2's cruiser spec. Also when I consider bigger wheels (tho I always fear worsening the ride... still, perhaps just 16s for the rear?) ... I always end up somehow thinking I'll miss the slightly retro now smaller wheel/bigger tyrewall look. There's a pic in my garage of a side on with a modern mid engined sports car that I think influences me...HighwayStar wrote:There's a pic in my garage of a side on with a modern mid engined sports car that I think influences me.
The less is more approach works for me. My pipes are about 5mm from the bumper, yours look about 20mm!
