Just a thought, and I welcome anyone who knows more about this sort of thing to correct me, but there may be a way to delete 2 of the oxygen sensors.

I can't help you on the roof problem, I've never encountered it myself and I'm not the best mechanical mind around.

My advice on the idle is go plug it into an OBD-II and see if an error code...

You found a shop that would mandrel bend for $40??

You did well my friend. I did the same mod but in 2" stainless so the diameter would match my headers. The flanges in stainless cost me about $80...

Most likely heat shields on the cats.

Unless you are emissions tested, do what a few of us have done and install bypass pipes to delete the cats. The sound is better, weight is reduced, and power...

It is near impossible to do engine damage by revving too high in a tip. The computer will not shift down if it will push the engine past the rev limiter.

Now that I am reading your post I've just realised why I am noticing so many more rattles in my car lately!

Yes, Pedro's racing mount is harsh around 3k rpm, and yes, everything does rattle.

Some very good points have been raised by all members here, I will just add my 2c in regards to the Australian cars.

This one is a little more complicated. Citroën is pronounced something like sit-roh-ah.

What year is your car?

The disconnecting the battery trick resets the computer on earlier model cars, like my 2000 S for example (tried and confirmed), but I believe that on the newer models it...

I've never come across anything like PCCB in after-market.

Could someone please post a link, for the sake of curiosity more than anything else.

Thanks in advance.

Been there, done that.

It is your oxygen sensors my friend.

Change them and I'm 99% confident it will fix the problem.

If not, start to look at MAFS and coil packs etc.

It goes without saying.

A fair estimate of the pipes is perhaps 5lb in total, therefore about a 15lb saving to stock.

Not huge I must admit, but every bit counts.

I tend to agree with Steve.

If it is an oxygen sensor you will more often than not experience misfires in an entire bank of cylinders and a further code for the sensor.

You said it Mike.

It is all about sample size, but more importantly, a non-biased sample.

Thanks.

I tried something similar and there seemed to be a spring in the way. I was probably just not using enough force.

I will try your method and see how it goes. I will post progress too.
