How hard would it be to fit by my self is it just a case of take the old parts off ie cat ,exhaust back box and pun new ones on as i have not a lot of good mod shops down hear in sunny bognor regis.

GR8 as i was asking sunday about air filters and vipers and was told to go for a free flow panal filter as i was not going to change the ecu but i wanted just a little more power. So i could do the air filter panal , sports cat , and full system with no change to the ecu yes.

Is that the only mod you have ?

What would be the best to do on changing the brakes on my mk 1 172. Change pads all round for hi performance ones or change just front disc and pads to hi performance ones as rear ones are fairley new ???????

But i thought that the cotton ones were more free flowing ive seen one on bb that looks like a green one for about £ 40 - %5 . So you think that a viper would be a wast of money without maby a chip or ecu re map i can see why you say go for a replacement filter over a viper as your getting...
