yeh map wicked!
jus need to sort the back pressure out as low end torque is abit low.
My MOT showed it had double the emissions due to NO SILENCERS!

How much do new silencers cost?

Just had my car taken back to MIJ performance, then refitted the cat and a new silencer!

The car now spools up quicker! and pulls all the way in the rev range! The DV is much louder almost like BOV.

happy got it sorted!

funny thing was K&N filter fell off on the motorway :cry: so had cough up for a brand new K&N.

Jus hope hope this dont fall off! :headhurt:

ive replaced it now so it s ok! had added a few cable ties to ensue it stays put!
Had a viipercross filter but could hear the dv at all! but did improve the performance!

If the filter disappears (likley, im guna invest in some other one)

cheers all for your help!

yeh the low end torque has come back. My exhaust system is similer but the back pressure has gone.
2nd gear when it touches 2000rpm, it jus misses!

Glad you got it sorted! Just a shame you had to pay out to have the exhaust changed over twice.

Im pleased now, the mpg gone better and it pulling well!
next time i wont touch the exhaust unless i know exactly what the outcomes are.
