There must be loads going second hand. Remember I got one for £50 a few years back.It's gonna be the cat
Shall I just buy a type approved from ECP?
This.The mapper should be able to tell where the issue lies though.

Definitely the RBC inlet, that's good value for money. Exhaust wise they breathe better with 3". Solid Fabs make excellent power.
An alternative route would be a gearbox build with LSD and short final drive. You then get the better acceleration AND better handling for a similar sort of price.
It will make the car feel a lot punchier, however if it's a daily driver and your commute involves the motorway you may want to think twice about it.i got similar mods and i haven't fitted the 5.1 FD yet, would it make a hell of a difference on a ep3 bolts on having a 5.1 fd?

I doesn't make it unbearable (some final drives do), bet it is definitely noticeable sat on the motorway.cheers for the reply tom, it is a daily for now, but soon as i'm done with the last bits it won't be a daily any more, also my commute is like 10 miles a day tops.
Doesn't seem very hot to me. Ideally you need to get it to the point of restriction and check the temps asap before and after the cat to get an idea. I'm not entirely sure it will be possible to rule either way with it though, you might need another to compare against.My thermal reader arrived today and I tested it out on the exhaust. I only went around the block and parked up, the cat read around 143°c both front and rear and the b pipe was 65°c. Sound normal?
