      I've been told that they will pass emissions if you leave the secondary cat in place. I've not tried it myself to be honest, I just kept mine as standard as these things are woefully undercooled for performance work as it is.

    I appreciate that you made a really nice exhaust, but I suspect there's quite large gains in fitting aftermarket downpipes. At least in my experience with JZ engines, the stock cast downpipe/dump pipes are huge restrictions. You're better off spending money there, rather than making sure your exhaust is mandrel bent.

    • @shona5512
      @shona5512 Рік тому +14

      Don't forget that this show is broadcast on TV. So while I'm sure Elvis knows that they could get more gains out of a Downpipe & Decat, the production company won't actually allow them to install them because they're not really seen as "legal" for MOT inspection. Obviously, there are aftermarket applications available for road use, but they'd rather just use the stock ones so that people don't think they're promoting something that isn't by-the-book.
