I might cut the crappy APR cat off and put a better one on there, maybe a BCS one if the emissions are good.

Here you go mate, emissions with the Powervalve 200 cell. Can't remember if that was on Stage 1 or Stage 2 R-Tech, if that matters.

Bsc sports cat sounds like the way to go. from what you guys have said and from the conversation I had with a guy from there. Really good information he gave me and such faith in his product. Definitely want to go down that route. Plus gfb dv+ autotech hpfp and stage2+map. Should be all done for a while then lol

Wow that's clean for a sports cat, when I test cars with sports cats they are usually borderline pass/fail

I'm hoping so man. Really looking forward to getting it sorted! Probably going to have to wait until new year but will hopefully be worth the wait

Yes. Well mine is on the Leon anyway

Iv got the later LCR with the useless XDS, on or off the car still cuts the power in the corners,and it definetly doesn't like left foot trail braking. An absolute buzz kill on a recent trackday

That is loads better!  Their website is down at the moment so can't check if they sell the cat on it's own.
