When I had the springs and service done on mine last week I put a dv+ and a pre cat and resonator delete done and it's absolutely brilliant, the fart on gear change is fantastic  :signLOL:

It's surprising the difference those two little mods do to the exhaust sound isn't it, no fart on gear  change for me though as I'm a manual  :signLOL: also, what's the dv+ like?

is the precat delete done with a replacement downpipe or modifying the existing one?

It's just getting the standard one drilled out, with that and the res delete its sounds nice but not too loud, I just wanted it to sound like It should have from the factory, I'd recommend it :happy2:

Obviously if you can afford a new downpipe then do that, but this is basically free.

@stacy2704 I second what @spwd said, a mate of mine did it, but the standard downpipe comes off and you knock out the cat inside  :smiley: it's a mod worth doing if you can't afford a downpipe, I can't comment on the sound of just a precat delete though as I got a backbox delete done at the same time

I already have a resonator or middle box delete, so should make it a little more fruity. I'll give it a go when the weather is a litlle less British.

@stacy2704 ah fair enough! Yeah I'd definitely do it, it's a free or cheap enough mod to do with nothing but benefits  :smiley:

A little update, my mot is due at the end of April and I noticed I had a number plate bulb out, so I bought a whole set of error free leds for the number plate and interior, so that should freshen up the look a fair bit, hopefully they will arrive quickly!  :smiley: new top mounts, cv boot and anti lift kit needs to be sorted for my mot also!

Got round to fitting my number plate and interior leds the other night, bye bye yellow and hello white! Looks much better in my opinion (excuse the dirty interior)





Got round to buying the powerflex anti lift kit last night to replace the worn bushes, going to get it fitted next saturday along with my top mounts and cv boot.

@JamieKirk95 yeah I'm pleased with them, £20 for the whole interior and number plate ones, so money well spent i think  :smiley: I know, it's well overdue  :sad1:

@spwd yeah they're bright but they look good!  :happy2: here's the item number for them on eBay 252445139136  :happy2:
