Yes; an update.
After having my MOT done in April, the emissions were a nightmare to pass. Taking 15 minutes to settle done and get through the test.
My freind done the test(yes it was friendly but a legite one).
Having spoken to him it was advised that the cat was shot.
so...
I bought a new cat but one for a X16XE so that I could finally upgrade the manifold, and bought a new Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold.
Then had to make a sleeve to join the new cat to existing exhaust system.
No pics of it fitted because I cant be bothered to crawl under the car again.
You can see the differences between the cats(lengths and location of bends) and the manifolds.
So you can see the ifferences between the C16XE and X16XE cats and manifolds.
Its made a good difference to the cars performance.
Its added to the midrange 3k-4.5kish and the way it gets to where the Mantzel works. Alot more smooother instead a step.

I used rattle cans, a bloody lot of them.
Another update, been a long time coming.
I picked up some 2nd hand new unused Goodridge braided brake lines cheaper than the rrp a couple of months ago.
Well this weekend I finally got round to fitting them.
A pretty easy job to do really, just the offside rear one was a bitch for access and took twice as long to do as the other side. Got them all bled up with new fluid throughout aswell as the old fluid was black and smelt funky and had debris and shit in.
All in all, easy peasy job and the brakes feel much firmer now. Just got to wait till Combe to try them out in proper anger.
old manky ones
new ones fitted

Did you blank the hole off for the SAI system?
Any pics fitted?

No i didnt have to.
When I first got the manifold I looked at it and realised that the hole in the middle the gasket covered and the channels that run from the hole to the 4 outlets/ports/whatever you call them, werent connected/cut through.
So I was able to fit it and not worry about getting the hole welded/blanked off. I might have been lucky I dont know.
But Mine runs with no problems/air leaks etc and I havent done anything to the manifold.
