My stumbling, limited power looks like it is because of a clogged cat... does anyone use npower magnaflow cat:

If so is it straight bolt on? how hard is it to put it on? need welding? and hows the performance?

thanks...

Just by eye... if that's the product... it'll need flanges to be welded on for it to fit?
Exhaust shops should be able to do that for you no problem

Is it going onto a stock system or aftermarket?

Hi there, I and Mokesta use one. Welding is definitely required. I assume performance is improved over a standard 80,000km unit I replaced, however I did replace the whole exhaust system and got quite a noticable improvement in performance.

Here's a couple of piccies....
