Can anyone advise regarding a BCS catback exhaust.

Hi I bought a BCS Powervalve catback exhaust from a member on here however I dont think its going to be a straight forward fit and was looking for a little advice.

The origional exhaust has no seperation after the cat, it goes from the cat straight to the turbo so I'm guessing that if I wanted to fit the BCS I would either have to buy the Downpipe or chop my exhaust is this correct?  The diameter of the standard exaust also looks alot smaller than the diameter of the BCS.

If so how easy would it be to get someone to chop and fit the catback ?

Here are some pics













Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ramsay:
I'm thinking I could use a grinder to cut the standard exhaust before the sensor then pop on a step up pipe then for the bcs?  Is that the best way to do this ?

Ramsay:
Anybody ?

Thanks :D

I had contacted BCS who were more than helpful.

For people who come across this, the powerflow exhaust is not recommended for fitting as a catback system (BCS only supply it as part of a turboback system)  as the sound reduction from the standard downpipe restricts the sound produced from the powervalve therefore rendering it almost pointless.

I have been told that installing this exhaust as a cat back system will not damage the exhaust or car and requires a reducer pipe which BCS are going to supply for me.

I will thereafter have to cut my standard system after the cat and install from there should be straight forward (hopefully) lol.
