I think based on all the responses im going to be patient and get a custom one made.

Thanks to everyone who responded, looks like you all talked some sense in to me :lol:

Exactly!!

Save some monies and get a custom one made, it will last longer and it'll be better (performance/quality).. :idea:

I don't think so. If I remember correctly it was for:
Downpipe, flexi, short sports cat, two boxes, twin outlets in right place and slightly larger than standard.
All stainless, of course.

Naturally, I didn't go for it. As it happens, the system I had then is still on the car - even after the last MoT.

Quick question people :D -

Any exhaust system i buy will it bolt straight on to the cat i have? Ive read up the jdm cats are different?

If i needed to buy a new cat id probably get a decat pipe, would this fit straight on to the downpipe and then whatever exhaust system i buy?

Plenty of members have had issues fitting off the shelf catback in the past, due to variations of downpipe and cat lengths. I wouldn't like to bet any money that it will bolt straight on sadly.

Another advantage of going custom ;)
