Thinking of going for a stainless steel exhaust as the exhaust is now starting to slowly fall to bits . Looking at full decat. Still enjoying being in the old girl feels faster than the last one that I had.

Good

Pleased to hear you’re still happy with the Activa...

I'd not recommend a decat as it'll cause MOT issues. A cat has to be present.

the standard cat is OK and not too bad and will not be the limiting factor on performance.

Fit a Manual Boost Controller for a bit of extra pep

The really do work very well...

Thanks jim will try that,but was thinking more of decat pipe so i could put cat back on for m.o.t that said m.o.t's not that much of a problem in my circle of associates if you get my meaning.

Gosh, it's a ball-ache on an Activa to replace a cat just for the MOT but I suppose if it's an annual job then corroded fittings won't be such an issue...

Exhaust fitted as standard and kept original cat on as was all o.k just needed to be all put back in place. Only thing now is I have brand new cat for the Activa and can't send it back as I got from online automotive on finance package with a load of other stuff. All is nice an quite now. Am looking into getting an electronic boost controller but not 100% sure.

A manual boost controller can be good fun!

I've enjoyed mine and will do until the V6 engine goes in...

Will look in to that Jim is there any make you would recommend.

I'd need to look at mine but I'd imagine all manual boost controllers are a much of a muchness really...

Thought i would share some photos
Of my new girl. Had her a few months now and as the weather is getting better thought she deserved a good wash and polish. Let me know what you think.
