Good work. Done on time to a good quality and in "proper" stainless steel. When I was looking at the lambda sensors with the indy garage who were doing the MoT (and the rest of the works!) the mechanic stated - without prompting - that the welds were good quality and neat.

Took the car for a run today which is the first long run since I started the current series of works to get it through the MoT.

Just sublime - handling, braking and tracking are superb - and it still sounds great even though the new cats seem to keep most of the exhaust in the pipes as opposed to the previous throaty "riiiippppp" which came from perforations in the cats.
