Hahaa, well done Rich. It is a resonated box made to resemble the cat. Should easily be able to swap in a cat onto it as the system is now being done with full 304 investment cast flanges.

Hedge... Definitely not BCS :smiley:

Nice touch, is that incase you get stopped by  Vosa? Just hope they don't actually test it lol

Very true! There are out and about though, increasingly stopping cars. My decat to be fair isn't that loud on normal driving/start up and im more concerned about my tints (actually a distraction technique yeh!  :grin:). There was a VOSA check site on the A40 today just outside Hounslow where they had car and goods vehicles stopped!

Don't worry guys, this is a development exhaust and would also have the option of a cat. :smiley:

The only time I've ever heard "investment cast flanges" mentioned relates to APR!   :confused:

You can get a much better weld with a cast flange as it has a ready built lip ready to accept the pipe!

 :grin: Just read that back to myself and it sounds like a robot porn flick!

 Update....

The develoment exhaust should be completed over the next few days.

90mm downpipe, 76mm full system and 304 stainless system, full TIG welded with Stainless cast flanges plus titanium tips. Should sound well!!!

Also some doubters didn't believe my 8.55 second run to 100mph, saying it was downhill, so to silence them I did a downhill run....... :laugh:
