to go further - their response on the fitment - they had never installed them on a 6 spd - so they had NO idea the difference in length of trans and size
I had to cut a tab/ear off trans housing, hammer a dent in the firewall, modify the trans cross member to almost nothing...the O2 sensor bungs were straight back and still threw CEL.
And - the cats hung SO LOW that I couldnt go over any speed bumps

How were the headers though? Was unaware of the fitment issues of the catted section. Great information.

the tubes on the headers were of a nice design - but when compared to the Supersprint - two of the mounting nuts/studs were IMPOSSIBLE to get to without leaving every bolt loose (this is on the front section) to put on all of the nuts.
The rear section was very easy (it is the first section to install - so access was easy

Wow. Thank you for your experience with this. I wouldn't want to deal with this especially after seeing what you went through. Thanks Stu

That (cat) fitment looks terrible!

Stuart, so they were designed for STEP, not manual? Do you have a guess as it if they would fit better on STEP?

i believe they created these for the auto - but, I would still be concerned with fitment and the size of the cats
