Seems the zed caused a bit of a stir at the garage this morning, my brother-in-law said it was like bees around a honeypot! The mechanics were all over it, they loved the exhaust on it. He was impressed with the car, he loved the handling, smooth ride and no rattles! He was also mighty impressed with the performance. So another convert perhaps? 
He wants to go passenger at Brands in a couple of weeks, bang goes my fast laps then got another 12 stone to drag around!

happy to hear that mick, more so that it passed with a de-cat on as this is the only thing i will have at the back of my mind when mine goes in.
a 1.4 diesel polo? i bet you are glad to have the zed back after that thing!

they wont make a difference. its only a straight bit of pipe. if internal diameters differ i still wouldnt think it would make a difference. mine so far hasnt needed a mil kit. thats with a janspeed decat from ptp

Yea, 1.4 diesel and 3 cylinders with a 600rpm power band!
No need to worry now about the decat

Mine's one of Aldons batch kindly donated by Blinky  A basic straight through version and no need for the MIL lead as yet.

Nice one mate...always a good day when it passes 
I had the same at the mot station the other day, they came from everywhere when i roared into the garage!! I let 2 of them take it for a spin and they both came back with dirty great grins on their faces and ran into the office to get on pistonheads looking for one!!!

I'm a bit miffed this morning, seems they have adjusted my handbrake as I only have 2 clicks max when it was set to book when I replaced the rear pads. I'll need to back them off as it is too good, worried about them overheating as there is feck all air gap.
