Wow... that's a really big deal! Makes sense tho, small petrol engines are becoming super efficient, clean and still have some poke.

New gasket ordered from ICP... Should hopefully get it sorted next week!

Yeh was tightened up evenly, even tightened other exhaust parts in turn to make sure everything pulled together fine. I'll just buy a new gasket, they're not expensive. Cheers Savage!

So my smokey saga continues! Just finished taking my entire exhaust off to put new heat wrap on my up-pipe as the old stuff had oil in it and causing smoke. While doing this, I installed my prodrive sports cat downpipe and put everything together without much issue, I was a bit cheeky and reused my downpipe gasket which was brand new a month or so ago, so still looked brand new. But obviously I have an exhaust leak, it is coming from the top between the two bolts. I've attached a pic and you can see that there is a visible gap, but I cannot tighten the bolts anymore. Would a new gasket sort it out do you reckon or do you think I may have to use a little sealant to help, some threebond perhaps? (which I have)

Welcome top the club!!

This is what I use and it works great! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FOIC3I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Haven't told the wife yet... hence why it went straight into the garage :D

That looks absolutely amazing! Glad you're happy!

I was gonna just get it remapped with the standard downpipe but saw this on ebay along with the decat mid-pipe (which is for sale :D) for a good price... I've worked a lot and got a good overtime payment so couldn't pass it up!

Yup, you can get an OBD2 reader for around 10-15 quid... this will tell you what the error is which you can then research. Or clear the error and see if it comes back. Could be an old code that has been fixed, but not cleared.

Hey guys, Just bought a prodrive downpipe which came with this decat mid-pipe but since I already have a decatted one this is surplus to requirements! Fits between the centre pipe and the downpipe. Has the hole ready for the o2 sensor so you can plug it straight in and not get a CEL Fully heat wrapped £60 delivered Can pay either via a direct bank transfer or via paypal, if you elect paypal you can send it as a gift to avoid fees.

Prodrive sports cat downpipe arrived today!!

Welcome to the club! I've yet to drive my Scoob in the snow... was looking forward to trying it but had nowt for 2 years!!

They are supposed to be pretty good... you could always look into getting a new centre pipe or decatting the pipe after the downpipe to release some more noise

Glad you managed it! Took me and a mate the best part of two days to do mine!

What are you running at the moment?

I think i'm losing a few mpg's due to a busted o2 sensor...

Did you manage to get it fitted?

Those arches look amazing!

No problem :D

The big red bit is your intake manifold

Probably was only available for a certain period of time?

Love the colour :D
