Hi m8, i have fitted a mongoose exhaust to my small turbo escos, the car seems to perform better than when it was fitted with a cat back magnex (now the cats are removed). the goose also sounds loads better. The lamda sensor aint a problem becaue its mounted in the turbo exhaust housing and not the exhaust downpipe . If u havent got a friendly mot tester u will have to put the standard exhaust with cats back on for the mot.
hope i made some sence

SteveW, if i fit a mongoose do i have to do anything to the lamda sensor and can i do it myself or where could i take it to have it adjusted. its no problem for me if i have to put the standard exhaust on for the mot everytime. thanks m8 for your advice.
