GTV ts exhaust mod plus decating

Hi Chaps

near are the photo's as promised.
when i decated the precats. i used an older 156 manifold and a 147 downpipe.but there all the same from around that time.up to about 2001ish. i had to get the threads made up to fit the precat lamba's sensers.but they cost me only a tenner.manifolds and downpipes you can get from ebay.plus as you can see ive raped some exhaust rapp round the manifold aswell.this is more to help under bonnet heat,an for performance.then i cut the main cat aswell.if this did'nt wort.i was going to buy a 200 cell cat off ebay.which they are selling for about £80ish all in.but the car is running fine.he say's fingers crossed
the car wants to be driven now.revs really well ,and more power it fills like.but im not going to get carried away and say the car now has an extra 1000BHP but it is more fun to drive.will give my 33 a run for its money

Now for all you GTV boy's who want your car to sound how it should have from day one.and not having to buy a SS exhaust.well what you do is just cut the silencer out from behind the backbox of the car.
I think sound is amazing.not to loud not chavie.im so happy with it.on tickover its just a nice low rumble. sounds great in car too!!
i will have to try and make a video and put it on utube me thinks.and my PC skills arent all that
hope the photos upload so all this bad english makes sense

all the best john love03122007027.jpg

No i did'nt.i have some chopped up pipe that was the same bore.so i used abit of the bent pipe.till i got the rite angle.then weided it up.quite an easy job,if you can get the car in the air

but you can use a flexi.should work. sounds great
