Annoyingly my de cat hasn't sealed quite properly, was fine on te test drive last night but this morning I get a "blowing through a piece of grass noise" every time I accelerate.

Im hoping it will "soot up" in time.

I did my best to clean up the remaining exhaust faces but they were a mess tbh.

I've got a DJ decat on mine, and I do think its a well made piece of kit, my only critisism is the sold ally shims that are supposed to be gaskets, they obvioiously don't compress so make a losy gasket, the one I fitted to my mates was a pest to seal, when it came to doing my own I got a couple of proper exhaust gaskets binned the ally shims and it was fine

He was there indeed, dragging his truck through some trees, putting a big dent all the way down the side...silly boy. We did come 15th out of 50 in the punch challenge though All the landy boys were getting upset because they didn't have rear or centre lockers, and were struggling on sections we were walking over Don't know if you agree Dingle, but the most impressive thing I've found out about the L200 is its ability to climb ridiculous slopes. Maybe down to its length, unsure, but impressive. Not so good at tight twisty sections....with trees....at a 45 degree angle....
