My thoughts are that you should leave it standard and improve the value on your car, return the exhaust to supplier and take the Mrs away for weekend, buy her a meal, flowers and chocolates, hit the sack nice and early and within 20 minutes you will be thinking that Nobby was right! :D

What car is this for as most E30's didn't have a cat. Is it for a 2 piece or 3 piece system?

My mate had a Mongoose and it fell apart not long after the warranty ran out.
