Hi everyone bit new to this but its just a wee question ive got. I'm thinking about going stage 1r with a cat safe crackle map for my ST180, im just wondering whats the requirements for this? Would i need a non res exhaust system for the cat safe crackle or is the stock system with a backbox delete fine? Might be a bit of a silly question apologies in advance 🙂

    I don't think anyone owning a Fiesta is interested in owning Ferraris...they are probably interested in owning a Golf GTi or Audi S3 which do crackle as standard though...DSG farts are great! :biggrin:

    There are plenty of exhaust videos on Youtube, I reckon there must be at least one with just a backbox delete on there.  You can't really tell 100% until you're hearing it in the flesh though!
