You think it will sound better with the sports cats fitted?

Some people say it makes a huge difference to noise, others say a slight increase. So I'll just see what happens. :) I've heard it frees up the revs a lot too.

Some people have notice they notice a torque LOSS after fitting them, but in the long run, when you get the full Milltek setup and get a map, it works in your favour to have the full system. Much better flow of gases. But both people I know that's had theirs done havent noticed any loss in power. So I'll just wait and see. :) Can't wait. More noise is gonna be unreal, it really bellows now as it is, just with non res cat back! lol

Here's a video of one with the full Milltek setup:

Cats are now fitted! Fitted them this morning. Luckily the old ones came off alright with a bit of oil! Wasnt expecting much of noise increase, and there isnt on tickover. But when you're giving it the beans, it sounds MUCH more throatier. Sounds SO much nicer! I cant believe how much of a difference they make! When I got the Milltek non res, made such a difference. Now I've got the cats, such a difference! I hope when I get the manifolds it makes as much difference again! :D

looking good mate

Thanks fella

It just sounds nuts, i bet it will be a demon when the manifold goes on :D!

Cheers dude - yeh I've heard it gets louder again! On the way to the Gf's last night, went through a small road with houses built up either side. Hoooooned it through, let off and got a massive POP from the zorst. :lol: All very dirty :D

I'll upload pics from my phone next week :)

Not updated this in ages! Gave my car a bit of a clean about a month ago (I have cleaned it many times since! lol) and my mate came round with his Fabia. Gave his a much needed going over! Here's the results of both our cars!

The Saturday just gone, I've decided to repaint my brakes. The drivers side weren't too bad, but someone looks to have made an attempt to repaint the passenger side ones at some point as they are several different colours and got lacquer peel. So I've used an engine lacquer which I used on my Mk4 Ibiza - tried and tested. It's a brighter blue, but I prefer it. Stands out more and has to look better than multicoloured?

Done the drivers side, got to do the passenger side this weekend.

'Cuse the dirt, just taken some pics today on my phone. Got some pics on my SLR which I'll try to upload soon.
