So you will need a fuel pump and map. Wouldn't catless cause problems come mot emissions testing time? I bought a catless cobra for my vxr but then had to have a sports cat fitted to pass my mot Find a friendlier MOT guy

The stock exhaust is good for upto about 400bhp so you'd only change it for audio (but to get to anywhere near that figure the DP has to be changed)
What you can get away without a map and stock exhaust is
HPFP internals
Sri & tip
Tmic
If you do want a deeper sounding exhaust the a cat back is for you
But to get te best out of them will require a map.

No i took mine from the 2nd cat all the way back. I will tell you know if you just go for a catback alone you will be dissapointed sound wise.IMO its a waste of cash ,if you get underneath the car you can see the stock system is very good. The backbox is massive but even mine since ive changed it isnt what you expect even on a cold start.

But on new mot's now, the computer system at the garage is now linked to VOSA/DVLA or whoever it may be and it then states, 1 cat, 2 cats etc
