Default Semtech Motors in Kirkintilloch

Anyone here used them? I was referred by Simon's Custom Exhausts and plan to take the S8 there next week for 2 sports cats and, probably. a custom cat back system. The whole lot is not much more that Audi stealers want for just one cat! And 'cos I need a type approved cat, I can't get one anywhere else

Well, it wasn't Simon's Custom Exhausts that referred me, it was Simon at Euro Sports Exhausts.
Anyway, they seem to know what they're talking about and can fit 2 stainless sports cats for £480 all in. They reckon the cat back system is not in need of replacement and should be good for a few years yet so, although they reckon thay could get another couple of horses out of it, I'm not that ready to spend even more just yet.
Booked in for next Monday.....

Got 2 new sports cats fitted yesterday, but one of the lambda sensors was siezed in, so now need a new sensor. Hoping to get that fitted tonight so will take photos and post here.
Yes, very helpful folk. And the car seems more responsive too.

Default New Sports Cats

Here's a piccy of my new cats. Not had a good chance to give them a tgry yet, but low end 'pull' is certainly better.

A much better solution to the £740 per cat price from the stealer!
