Question

Hello

Just managed to remove OE DP , was not as hard as I feared.
But before fitting the Magnex part, I ran into a problem:
The magnex DP seems to have a second, smaller hole in addition to the one where the lambda sensor is fitted. The location of the hole suggests that an some other MY, a sensor is fitted after the first cat. How can I plug this, the bolts I've got have wrong threading?

Another minor problem: should I get a new gasket between the turbo and DP? The old one seems to be in rather decent shape to my eyes. How about the bolts and nuts?

Re-use the gasket and nuts and bolts, and see if a spark plug fits the spare hole in the downpipe. then Enjoy!

DAMN! Just spent 6 hours with a friend trying to fit the Magnex down-pipe. It did not fit! Only could fit it to turbo and midsection, the bracket by the gearbox was totally impossible to fix, it was some 10mm too high. Also,
when fitted (only from the ends of the DP) the pipe touched the underside of the car in 2 places.

I'm getting tired of the bloody exhaust, first waited 2 months for one brand system, cancelled it and now this. Somebody up there seems to think that OE system is good enough for me...
