Terry, another suggestion. Instead of wrecking your existing pipes and possibly the cats too, why not have a word with Simon at Phoenix Exhausts in Cullompton, and ask if he would make you a pair of new pipes, from the headers back, you could then just swap them out for MoT time or when selling the car. If I'd kept mine this is exactly what I had planned.
Thanks, morgan needs to update/improve their web site, making it customer friendly. It will help the company increase sales & grow. Like if the pipes/ stage kits were on their online shop, people could know about it & order them. Without searching & asking whats new & available or coming soon.
Thanks everyone, I will have a go at one of the suggestions. I will let you know how I get on.
If you don't want to trash your stock pipes, I have a pair of factory 'Noisy' pipes, which are without the 2 rear weld-in baffles, so flow better than the bunged up stock items, plus add some much required growl to the car. If after that you wanted more noise, then you could simply hole-cut through the one remaining baffle and have super-loud (and flow-worthy) straight-throughs.
Thanks Paul, I will give him a call. I assume by 'from the headers back' you are referring to where the current pipes are joined, i.e. leaving the cats in place. Terry
...will wait...
