Replace the gasket

In my experience the react cats seem to work ok on the 4 pots, the proof will be in how long they last :y

had a garage refit my exhaust today to stop the blowing and they also welded in a flexi joint into my original vx cat. so i have a spare nw, they also said that a couple of the actual manifold bolts were lose so they tightened them all running nice and quite again now .and all for 40 squid which i thought was excellent  :y
