No mine came standard so I bought a second hand catcback system, with the inintenti of mating a prodrive sports cat to it.
I went for the Fujitsubo because it was a bit different and jdm.
I also bought my fozzy from Torque GT in October last year.

I also like the fact that most people have no idea what it is and then make the mistake of thinking the badges are just a trim level

I Love it, originally I thought I would miss the handling of my hawkeye but I dont, it looks a bit like a barge but it will surprise you how well it handles and has the advantage of a decent boot.

slightly underwhelming, for two reasons, firstly you cant hear the burble at all with the standard exhaust, I mean nothing 
secondly my hawkeye was running 330/350 so there was a noticeable difference in power. Handling wise the fozzy actually felt tighter as it hadnt spent 10 years in our rotten climate

Mine was epic with a decent zorst & ~330bhp map

ah ok, im planning to just leave the standard cat in the oe downpipe, and with the fujitsubo cat back system and then just get it mapped for super 98 ron as v power is abit of an inconvenience to us.
is this worth doing and what power/ torque gain would it see? ive only found dyno results for litchfield maps etc using a sports cat, the main idea is to free it up a bit and safegaurd it due to wanting to run on 98 ron, not chasing dyno results but have noticed these produce quite good torque levels?

im looking at mapping the car from basically oe spec, the cat makes mot time easy too.
would i not see an improvement in power ,torque and fuel economy from an ecutek map?
v power is 99 and im looking to map for super 98 ron.

im assuming that having the car mapped will not be a detune lol.regardless of downpipe, i know it is a bit of a restriction with the cat in place but im kinda finished modding cars, its an expensive game and priorities are elsewhere, ive been down that route with my old type r.

You certainly would see improvement, and really need a map tweak for engine safeguard (100RON map change) performance/exhaust/panel filter change etc
