Good luck with the MOT. Going with the secondary cat and then your normal performance manifold? It should pass if the cat is hot enough. Mine has for the past 2 years
Nah I'm wacking the whole lot back on, as the only way to refit the second cat was to gring and drill the snapped bolts or just weld it onto the stock down pipe, so we did the second as it was less hastle.
cause we were bored at ISTS in the evening so we needed something to do
OP

Got the crappy standard manifold, cats and downpipe back on now its so bloody quiet!
And I found a crack running round the bottom flange on my stainless manifold :doh: so I'll have to get that tig'd before i refit it grr

Well the car failed it MOT today
On rear brake pipe, exhaust hanger and front sidelight colour. So not too bad.
Brake pipe and hanger has been done and sidelights changed and it is having its parcial retest in the morning.

I did sidelights, as i just had to take the leds out. would have done the rest but i want the car back so I just got them to sort it, funny how the mount will come off again when the ss exhaust goes on lol
OP
OP
they were white leds, but obviously looked a bit too blue, no bother though as i had some spares in teh car.
OP

yer i think so, its probably cause my bulbs have a blue filter on to make them more white so it was shining off that.

Yep good news on the MOT. I will say however that the 1.3 K11 should be able to pass with a Janspeed 4-2-1 and cat back exhaust, with just the secondary cat in place.
Mine has for the past 2 years

yer but to put the centre cat back on would have meant drilling the studs out, instead i just welded it to the down pipe. lol

there not very bright/seeable in the wind deflectors by the looks of it? there not that common in the mirrors. look better in the mirrors IMO.
OP
OP
yer they are more visable than my tinted side repeaters and they passed MOT. and pretty much every car cumming out of the factory has them in the wing mirrors nowadays.

I was acutally looking into the leds that fit under and shine so the would glow as side repeaters.
yer i understood what they meant i was just saying i think they are too common in general.

yea joe you come up with some mad ideas mate how have your wind deflectors stayed up mine keep on falling down and have your windows ever snapped out of the clips that attatch to the runners as mine have snapped out again even when i used epoxy resin and i think it has something to do with the deflectors the mettle clip
