Experiences of eBay downpipe/sports cat?

[percy]

Yes, liking the third option too, possible group buy if anyone can speak German 

[percy]

Just realised that there on ebay for £216 which I think ain't bad so could be tempted

I just wish there was some way of knowing whether the 300 cel ceramic cat would also result in lower emissions instead of only being more restrictive than the 200 cel metal cat. And then again, is there really even any noticeable difference in the restrictiveness of the two.

Although i do speak German, if you don't, it is easy to write a short email then get google translate to change it to German. It gets it fairly close.
Hope that helps

Has anyone gone for the 3rd on that list, the German made one with the 300 cat?

I bought one but am still waiting for the snow to melt before installing it with the other parts that I've got waiting. Don't know if this is of any help to anyone, but here's a photo of it in the box.

And if someone is interested in the same dp with a 200 cel metal cat, they have it on their web site for 260 € (around £200).

Cheers Paavo, keep us posted!
