There does seem to be a lot around. But I have another question. Why when I am in a car other than my scoob do I see a lot more scoobs ? Then I get into my scoob and drive for hours and don't see any ?

Ian,
I have just fitted an HKS downpipe to my car at the weekend. Previously(sp) only had a SS Back Box, still have centre cat.
The Turbo spools quicker and seems more urgent but the noise seems to have increased lots. Sound deadening will be required.(esp. with a wagon)
I have set my stereo to more rear fill to try to drown out the noise a bit until I get round to it.
+ power, - noise at higher speed

Good Question,
I was intending to ask my local friendly MOT station to check emissions on the machine and see what happens. Don,t know what the regulations are but I will find out. Luckily my MOT,s not for another 11 months
Quick Tip:- Get your clutch replaced 1st, then the garage has to undo the Nuts / Studs on the Turbo. saves hours of grief and skint knuckles.

Ian,
Go for it !
I actually had the DP and CS sitting for a while, went to get the DP fitted but....I didnt cos MOT was due the next few weeks (I dont check the paperwork, so LJ told me) and then after that I decided to sell the car
everything will be ready for you. The heat shield is cut there is a new lambda in, the lot. I dare say, had I kept the pipes you would have wanted them for 75p each when you bought the car
As for the MOT thing: would pass with 1 cat so just pop in the CS come MOT time
Oh and get the wee lad some lug protectors for the w/end runs
