Not to bad fitting but I found it a bugger to get under a tighten the lower nuts.

I bought new manifold gaskets from Euro car parts when Ifitted mine as the ones that came with it didn't looked a bit thin and not up to the job. I didn't have any probs with bottom bolts but we took the engine out to do it. If you haven't managed to get the bottom bolts tight enough, that could be why it's blowing Definately a bit more raspy sounding after fitting a decat as the old cat also acts as a silencer for the exaust gases.

Think the lowers are tight enough just took a while to do with the old spanners as the is not alot of space to get my big mits in. Going to pop in to local exhaust specialist who make powerflow systems for them to check over. I think it's me though getting use to the different sound. Goes well though:-)
