Didnt wait til sunday, fitted it today and what a big difference!
Cat looks original, so probs well stuffed.
Some numpty had previously fitted 2 of the round gaskets off the manifold, one on top of the other
This compressed the springs so much over time that it wouldn't seal with the one gasket in.
Tried desperately to get another but no one had one. Had to botch it with a bit of exhaust paste pushed into the gasket mesh, and used washers to help compress the springs more.
So far so good, no leaks.
Gonna go for a burn in a bit to test it properly
