Good stuff :)
Spax are notsocheap rubbish, the difference in technology and quality is massive yet the price difference isn't!
I still need to do mine too, it'll have to wait until after my holiday though. Just over 6 weeks until the RS day at Oulton.
You'll have the RS192 fitted then.
You can run two tailpipes off one central silencer at the back and you won't need a centre silencer. The standard cat is a sports cat but the olive joint is a restriction so you can do the sleeve mod to be rid of that.
Mintex 1144 aren't all that. I get my ds2500 fading on the road (but not so much on track as you carry more speed.)

The one I linked to is the same one I'm running, it cools well enough on the hottest days and on track. The best part is its only £25 and it works perfectly.
You can get off the shelf all alloy versions of the same size but with a thicker...

Polo radiators are too small.
Try this one ;) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181279196901
