The technicalities in the MOT law in regards to different CATs was also a factor we took into consideration Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm taking mine to Infinity Exhausts tomorrow to hopefully bring it down to an acceptable level - otherwise I'll be reverting to OEM. No criticism of Tuning Developments or their workmanship - I've been very happy with the standard of work and communication - I just bought the wrong thing for me. Very happy now. Infinity has quietened mine right down and I no longer sound like a rowdy, asbo chav. Still pulls strongly, no perceivable difference in delivery. 1 Mike@TD.co.uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted September 17, 2016 Yep. With second cat in situ and standard exhaust it's barely louder than stock. Sounds better though. Put it this way - I may end up sticking a resonated cat-back on at some point as mine is possibly not quite chavvy enough yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 sxocpaul and Rich reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike@TD.co.uk 467 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 Morning all, Just a quick note to say we've got good stock levels of the Tuning Package parts currently, both EL & UEL. We got caught out a little by the popularity of the kit on its initial launch However have worked with our suppliers and gotten on top of things now.

Special_K 26 Report post Posted January 6, 2017 I have had this done for a little over a month have to say its worth every penny!!! I went with the EL with decat front pipe from TD too and with the ark DT-S catback soo it can get rather loud!! On the plus side cruising its not actually loud only when you get on it! And with the map that mike and nick did just makes the car soo much more enjoyable to drive! Without being to drop a few gears to have power it just feels so good! And now i even have more mpgs then before! More power and still have better mpg its always a bonus! Now im super excited to get my car back from TD after they put a turbo in my car 7 Dessss, Kal, Keethos and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelix 19 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 So, no problems passing MOT doing this? How do people find it affects insurance? MPG? Alas I have a 80 round mile trip commute that is all motorway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk 467 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Many people have sailed through MOT with the second CAT still in place. Insurance I couldn't answer i'm afraid you'd be best phoning your insurers and asking them. There are specialist insurers whom can accommodate most things should your existing insurer not agree with it. MPG is usually slightly better in most cases, for commuting purposes it should be certainly no worse. Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelix 19 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks Mile. Current insurer does not allow mods of any kind so will be looking to change on renewal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted April 22, 2017 Regarding insurance - I had the same problem with my original insurance and had to wait for it to elapse before TD did their thing. However renewing wasn't a problem and it barely affected the premium, and that's with coilovers and other cosmetic bits and bobs too. At the end of the day you're only looking at a 10% power increase at most, which insurers who cover mods won't bat an eyelid at...

八六車 24 Report post Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks for the service at the weekend Mike. Here is the photo of the passed noise test from Oulton park with the EL manifold kit, map and TD resonated cat back system on. Not sure if the 57 is the result as it sounds louder than this to me, either way no issues with being allowed on track! 1 Mike@TD.co.uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
