If your 200 cell sport cats are still good, wouldn't it make more sense to save the labor of drilling them out, sell them, buy some catless midpipes to install, and pocket the difference as future beer money?

I get your point.. I cannot pass MOT with those cats, I doubt they are genuine 200cel, they basically suck.. :-)

I have Manzo catless headers and Manzo catless test pipes with a circuitwerks v2 muffler. I get little to no drone. I don't have any experience with the stock exhaust as I almost immediately removed it.

They are cheap and on eBay

That said mine pass a UK MOT and have done for several years. 1 year it was very tight for some unknown reason but the next year with no changes there were no issues.

Thatīs the thing with cheap, if they work itīs great, if not, no big deal.

Plan now is to just cut the cats out and weld in a bit of pipe to run them as "testpipes".
