Where do people reckon the best place to get a non gen rear MPi subframe and recon radius arms is? Ideally needs to be here asap

80ish would be nice, rather getting in running to the optimum than chase numbers, proper nervous

Ran the maniflow with the decat for a few hours, but didnt notice much difference, can't get how quiet the single box is, quieter than my other one with a twin box playmini lol

It's not too loud either for a centre exit :D
Had a problem with the cat touching the heat shield, bit of adjustment and its all sorted now :)

And the Maniflow is back on again :(
Playmini was pushing the cat hard on the shield when driving full throttle :/

Standard 3 way cats are not restircing, the early open loop cats used with carbs were and the myth comes from that. The cat on the MPi costs you a little output at the top end but not a lot. Also you now must have one fitted if it was built with one to pass the MOT.

Fair enough, might try one, seeing as I need to fit a new Y piece before L2b anyway, being a little louder would be welcome too :)

I've got a decat pipe on my MPi :) Sounds a little louder but I prefer that! My cat was torn open so it was cheaper to get this pipe, will buy another come MOT time and only fit it on that day :)

One of the Mini Specialists up the road from work 'D.C Mini's' has a van atm. I saw him on my way in struggling up the hill :P

It's so nice but it's gone! :/
Been trying to insurance quotes on that one since last week, seems vans dont like young drivers :(

Forgot how fun and quick a mild 1275 can be, the hot 1312 should be awesome :D
