I think I read something on here a while ago sayin that the cat isnt under the car but its up in the manifold or something? Is there any way of shifting it down underneathe to de-cat the exhaust? Maybe by fitting an earlier model exhaust or a x14xe or x16xe exhaust?

it would sound crap with no cat, and really raspy. Just take the middle silencer out.

P.s. Help zone
