Hi All,
Well I've finally finished fitting the original CAT back on the car after getting it back from Gert at Carnewal a few weeks back. It now runs on a 200 cell CAT. I took the rear bumper off as I had some ar**hole run up the back of me a few weeks back so I needed to take the rear bumper off to deliver to the body shop for painting, nothing too serious just scuffs. I choose to do the removal and refitting as I know my car. The body shop had no problem with that and just supplied me with the spare pars required which was a centre lens and a number plate light, nothing major. All done under the other parties Insurance I'm pleased to say.
I have to send out a big thank you to Guards Red for telling me where I could find the correct connector to mate up with the lambda probe with the 1 meter cable, a SAAB part believe it or not. I originally had a block connector which I fitted when I modified the car to take a lambda back in 2010. I've kept the after market CAT but it's done well for 11 years, never failed an emission test. However, nice to have the original back on.
No major change in sound but the car feels a bit more responsive, so I'm happy with the upgrade.
A few pics of the work done attached.
