Nothing you've done wrong/not done - if it's sat in outbox, it just means Merlin hasn't read it yet.
When he reads it, it will move to 'sent'.
@vanzep can you possibly give Merlin a nudge off-forum?

There's a lady that has a white Type-S and takes it to quite a few shows, can't remember the reg no, and unfortunately she's not on here.
Have you seen pics of it? Does it have pink stickers on the rear windows with something like an instagram account name?

Only just see the Jan post on here from pidda1, for some reason.
Some really great info and additions from people here - well done for all the investigation work and thanks for coming back with the updates. Really useful for other luders!

Will this also fit a uk model Prelude 2.2 vtec

Yes. Straight swap.

Last time I insured my UKDM and told them it had a toad cat 1 system in it (it has, from before I bought it) the quote went up - I'm not kidding!
I asked them to take it off the quote and they said 'we can only do that now, if you remove the alarm system from the car'.

Thanks for the update and DOH! at the key loss!

Good morning, Iain. Here's the VIN plate of M334 SWP and hadn't noticed the 'ENG' stamp before. My Malaysian Prelude didn't have a red-top originally either, that was another tweak of mine. My mistake, I'm talking crap apparently - red top was only on the Type S and Euro-R versions that were badged...

Oooh I think the black rocker cover finish looks really good tbh - but you go with what you like. And actually, I'm surprised it isn't red top anyway, given it's a JDM H22A rather than a UKDM H22A2? :? If the manifold cover isn't rusty, just 'tarnished' (that's how it looks?) it would probably polis...

Second hand oem would be better for sure - the oem cats are always the best quality - but I've fitted a cat/pipe system made by BM Catalysts (who supplies the ones through where Drax linked) to my C5 and it was good quality. Fitted up perfectly and it's lasting well so far. So another recommendation...

Healthy H22's do put out pretty sooty deposits, so it sounds normal to me. If you pass genuine emissions test at MOT, then the mixture is just fine.
