    1) Car's emissions have been tested and would have passed an MOT (car wasn't even really warm after just 2 miles)
    2) It's the FRONT lambda that monitors AFR's etc so no worries there.
    3) Jim (Andy's brother) has, along with many others, deleted the rear lambda with no ill effects.
    4) It will solve the problem permanently for not much more that the new sensor (which I can return)

    Any comments ?
    Buy a pre ME7 T5, they only have one lambda.

    They do downpipes too, which start off as 3" but they shrink down before the cat to around 2.75"...

    Yeah, I've got the ferrita down pipe as well, but the exhaust is cat back, i.e. doesn't include the cat/dp.

    I thought the downpipe from Ferrita usually incorporated a sports cat?
