Am I right in thinking that a 172 cat is 200 cell, where as a 182 cat is 100 cell, meaning you could still pass emissions and potentially have a better flowing exhaust on a 172 by welding or sleeving a 182 cat onto a 172 pipe?
If you have a standard engine mount i'd leave it there, they're not the strongest mounts to begin with, the extra vibration could wear a new mount out even quicker than normal, if you've got uprated mounts then you could probably remove it without noticing anything.
Most people just make one of these. (Apart from me, I have an Espace V6 airbox because I like the sound)

What do the Canadians & Yanks make of the 172, do they even know what they're looking at?
I imagine they think it's a cute little toy right up until it out accelerates their 3 ton V8 SUV.
I find oil changes a piece of piss on 1*2's but I have been doing them on mine for years, I will admit the first one was a pain in the arse, but once you've had the fuel rail guard off once and not snapped the threads it's easy after that, I also use the claw thing which always gets the filers...
So after a quick search you can buy these with MOT for around £300, £30 tax, it runs on veg oil, parts that cost peanuts, what's insurance like?
I think we might have a winner for the cheapest car to buy and run in the UK.
