I reckon it's exactly the same as this one available for weld on £36, bolt on £45 welds or bolts straight to your existing decat pipe....Ironically the link you posted sell the Griffin Exhaust Systems and this one is from the Griffin Shop...Quite a few watchers too....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Catalytic-conver..._720wt_960 I think they look what they are a bit 'tin pot' perhaps?  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

It wasn't a joke. It was something very technical that I managed all by myself. I didn't even have to consult the Mrs. It was a real Land Rover MAN day.

Quite. And how tin pot does that look?!!! If I was MOTing I would be especially unimpressed with that cheap looking can welded onto a gleaming stainless steel exhaust system, especially when it looks nothing like the original! |

Nearly there.....

Total cost was the same amount I sold my old cat to a fellow forum member for. Nothing ventured, nothing gained but it has been a little headscratching but enjoyable with a good result I think. Just need to get the two tig welded together next week and nailed on the truck. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Deed is done. Had a nightmare undoing one of the 15mm M10 decat pipe securing nuts. Ended up with a Dremmel and an unscheduled hour cutting the nut off. Replaced the nuts with 17mm stainless M10s which will be a little more substantial should they need to come off again. Gave my old decat to a fellow forum member to have something to work with should he decide to go down a similar avenue.

I hope Mal doesn't mind me chipping in but noo, that stays on post MOT and should be a fit for life job. Having seen his handywork up close it's a fantastic job and looks every bit like a sports cat should do. Can't see why it wouldn't pass the visual inspection
As ever, Mal's attention to detail and quality of workmanship is excellent.  2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful
