I contacted CES at Meadowbrook to Custom fab a dump pipe (Bellmouth) with the cat being deleted, thanks to Sean lending me his stock dump to copy.
Sean and I set out to fit the dump pipe today, well I supervised LOL :lol: .
And ended up having to take it off due to the sensor bung being a little to close to the firewall to actually fit the sensor :oops: grrr.
It looks like the first bend in the dump was to curved heading to close to the fire wall that caused the fitment issue of the sensor.So back to stock we went.
Will take it back to the fabricators to relocate the sensor bung to a more user friendly position, most likely closer to the flange. Thanks again Sean for your efforts. :)

So back to the CES where they relocated the sensor to a more suitable location.Was fitted today with great success. Thanks Sean ...happy dance time!
Plus my rear lights arrived form MARS Smoked Black LED type. The fitment was better then expected but not perfect.. here some happy snaps.

Loving the subtle dark elements to the car, it makes it look so much more aggressive!

Had the Y back Gen3 Jazma's modified to flange up with new hangers rear piping to suit. Looks very jap racing Imo and sounds like two kawasaki's going of their tits ,quiet on idle then hit boost and wammo, not sure if I likey or not? Will see how the misses reacts. Lol . sounds better than most v6 homodoors.

For $200 Pete, that DP section is awesome! Perfect for a mild tune on stock turbo IMO...

I can't wait to hear these Kwakkas going off. If you don't like em, I might take em off your hands for when I want to be a total hoon :lol:

Nice clean mods; looking good!

Particularly like the tail lights. Any chance of getting some shots with them lit up and/or brakes on?

So I had a chop at fitting the GEN3 Bilsteins to My GEN 4 Wagon. Rears went straight in with no issues including swapping my GT Wgn springs over seeing they were Blitzen bilstein Sedan springs.
The rear tires now sits around two fingers from the rear guards which I hope will settle a little more as time goes by and feels nice and firm to drive.
The fronts I knew I had to swap the top hats over which I did and I found that the Standards GT's don't have a spacer like the bilsteins do between the bottom of the thread and the top hat. I tried to swap over the GT tops hats leaving the bilstein springs on. The car sits quite high at the front around a gap of 5 fingers between tire and guard which im not happy with. I havn't driven it really just down my street and back and they are knocking/ratteling which I feel has something to do with spacers? also they feel quite harsh as well at the front. So next week I will take the fronts out and replace the bilstein springs the with GT springs seeing I have them in the back struts anyway and try and sought out my top hat/spacer rattling issue.

One thing I always envied about the wagons, besides their practicality, was the availability of some very nice aftermarket tail lights.

Picked up some Gen 4 Bilsteins this weekend. So out with the front Gen 3's and in with the Gen-4 Bilsteins . Definitely more level now. Hopefully will settle a little more. Next will be changing over the rear Gen3's Bilsteins to my Gen-4's. Have a slight suspicion that the height will be the same.
