okay then I am noticing the bigger tyres, whats the options on easy performance (yeah right)
What bhp do you get from an air filter, cat back exhaust, borla headers, TB spacer etc :?:

Re-gear

Air filters, TBs etc May give you a tiny bit, but it's the gearing that will bring back the momentum

k and n gives up to 15 bhp, tbs gives a deffo midrange improvement, exausts also make quite a diferance. think the air is the first one to do mate. then the exaust to get the fumes out as quick as poss.

I have a K&N full intake and a vortex back box replacement, makes a VERY noticable difference indeed. The vortex is superb makes it sound like a monsterm, the intake noise is nice too

It was developed from drag racing exhaust systems and is designed to pull out the gases, there was a review of it on TOR I think and also a lot of other mags.
Give the vortex guys a ring, nice blokes and very knowledgable.

I have a K&N, and a TBS, but the new exhaust is in the shed at the moment as I had problems changing it.

And the old exhaust has a kink above the rear axle and it has REALLY made the performance worse.... Saying that, I can still sit happily at ~ 65 - 70 in 5th with 31's and standard gearing back from CF. 4up and I pretty much loose 5th gear at the moment.... when I finally work out how to get the f'ing old exhaust off of the lip behind the cat, i'll let you know how good the performance is...

Gap between the Cat and the Silencer is about 2"... not even big enough to get decent sixe hammer in there.... tried a 5ton puller and it wasn't going anywhere

Think it needs heat... and lots of it.... not handy at this time of year

Tis not welded, can twist it round, but the "P" clip has been done up FT and it's put a lip in the join, and will it come apart.... Not for me it won't

That's how they're supposed to be. Acetylene torch and get it red hot, comes of easy then.

I'll just go buy one then

Nah, just need time to go chat to my pet mechanic and get him to remove the old one.... Got some time off over xmas so may get it sorted then.
