Has anyone any experience please of mating an OBX manifold to the standard cat?
Not that I plan to try it myself, my vehicular expertise doesn't even stretch as far as knowing how to wash a car, but the manifold comes with a sprung fixing kit which is welded to the original cat after being cut from the original manifold.
The system has no flexi pipe, with the spring connector apparently allowing for any movement and preventing the system from fracturing.
Any experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rob, I was just slightly worried about not having a flexi pipe, but then I guess it removes the chance of the flexi pipe breaking.

Mine seems fine you could always get a flex welded on to the cat pipe if you where that worried about it but as said mine is fine

That's great thanks Rob, did you import yours from the States? If so, were you hit for import duty?
