Drove to Newcastle today, 500 km round trip..

And then....

X Force cat back is out, OEM cat back is back in, LOL.

After fitting the UEL catless header, and getting the 100 cell cat in the front pipe it was still to loud for my liking (my heat signature was massive and a fine was not to far away).

If you are going to put a header on one of these things, especially a catless UEL one, I recommend keeping the OEM cat back.

If you just want some sound, decat the OEM header (cost = $0.00 a 17+ OEM header flows fine NA), and get a cat back, any more and it is way to loud for a daily.

So, now, my current exhaust is a Tomei UEL header, Ultrex 2.5" overpipe, 2.5" front pipe with a 100 cell cat, OEM cat back.

Lets see what cold start is like tomorrow morning.

Opinions may vary
