Man, what a ballache.
This does remind me of my first car however, an epic Cavalier.
Something felt and sounded off, went round the back of the car and thought a badger had stuck it's head up my exhaust. The cat had disintegrated, then the wadding had been blown out the back box and I'd been dragging about a metre of it down the road. Stay classy!

WoW!! that is epic CAT failure! I removed my rear CAT's on the Elgrand (it has quad CAT's) for this reason, they are known to do it.
Once its all sorted are you looking for ~260-270hp? Sorry I haven't kept up to date on your build specifics.

Who do you think Rich hates more, me or you? 
You've made my mind up about who's doing my ceramic coating when the time comes
I love Rich's heat wrapping though... "Wrap wrap wrap wrap, tidy tidy tidy tidy"
... "Ahh drokk this!" BoooooOOOOUUUUuuuuund!

Tbf I had no problem when they did my coating, looks so weird in the engine bay now 

If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!

Wrapping - To be fair to ME (and I know it wasn't a dig don't worry)
I don't think anybody else would have spent so much time on that wrapping. These manifolds are a pig to do and impossible to fully individually wrap the primaries simply due to no space between them.
You can see how far I went down on each primary and then also the Y joints back. The rest is then group wrapped but overlaid by a good 4 inches over the individual stuff. That last "group wrap" starts at the top of the last primary and is then carried on to the group wrap without a join. Takes planning and time
