Hmmm, new age STI's can be a little funny about taking one or both of the cats out, I would suggest a remap really but if not then something like a KS3 or knocklink to check for det (all 3 are somewhat cheaper than a full engine rebuild )

Thanks for the info , Duncan will be doing my car on 25th April

so it made a big difference on your car then ? what did you fit prior to your re-map ? and how much more bhp / driveability have you got ?

cheers

yes - there should be a hole for it to go back into on the new exhaust section.

The CEL will come on - probably within a couple of days but easily got rid of on the 25th
