Results were really as expected and certainly no disappointments.....

Finally got round to finishing it all off. Put toolkit in vehicle as a precaution and stayed 'local' in case of any eventualities. Bearing in mind it was 25 degrees yesterday I allowed the vehicle to get hot before heading for the dual carriageway. Even in town traffic engine temperature stayed 5-7 degrees below previous figures under load and when stationary the temperature dropped significantly quicker than previously. Uptake was quicker too where I used to perhaps change down a gear (for example up a prolonged incline) that is no longer necessary. Giving it 'the beans' temperature range remained 5-10 degrees below historical figures and dropped instantaneously when foot backed off the throttle even for a couple of seconds. Figures were monitored on a Scangauge II if anyone is remotely interested.

Adding the above figures to the few degrees lost when the cat was removed and the engine running temperature figures are quite impressive.

Worth the outlay and compliments the map perfectly in my opinion.
