Also looking at changing the exhaust manifold and cat. I have ones from a +4 duratec and wondering if they would work. The manifold especially looks like it was thought about a bit more.
Many thanks

Hi Gaz
Have a look here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/116051653@N07/12250686393/in/set-72157640417787664

Side exit fitted to a 4/4 Sport on standard down pipes and Cat no ECU changes checked on the dyno to insure safe running 134bhp... from stock checked on dyno 114bhp.

From a Racing re-packable Morgan V8 with Intake pipe to suit my down pipe. Sounds good too!

Hi Cain

I put a similar Librands sport exhaust pipe on my 4/4 with no changes to CAT or manifold. Do I understand from your post that you are now getting 134bhp with same set-up. I do not think I saw any performance increase. I also note you have some protection on the wing where the exhaust exits. I just put a chrome tip on the exhaust outlet. Do you recommend some real protection there?
