On the Spain tour it meant it was easy to find James if for example we ended up within a 10 mile radius of him

Ha ha, not noisy at all then!

There could be differences between our cars James. Mine has what I think is a sport cat which looks like this;

The problem is that these can be full bypass, or 100 / 200 cell versions, which I suspect will have considerable sound deadening qualities. They all look the same from the outside, so the only way I will be able to tell is to remove and look down it.

Of course my rear silencer under the bumper might be knackered too - it visibly looks fine but who knows?!

A usb borescope via the lambda sensor boss would reveal the inside?

Let me know how you get on James - haven’t popped a camera in mine yet, been doing house stuff for a bit now the racing has finished.

I also had a flat battery on the 964 the other day so trying to revive the battery on the conditioner / rejuv cycle whilst the weather is still good

Current plan is to refit the original cat ( quickly repaired by my mate ) for the mot and then try and find a cost effective 200 cell
