ive spoken to them to confirm and they have updated there hole system and lost all history. so can’t pull up any history of any works carried out on any car up until the start of this year, which is fair enough, he said if it’s got receipts, it’s pretty much been done mate,

ive been under the car and it has a 2.5” cat back exhaust, was sold to me stating is a full 3” system. From the dealer.

the car had a standard cat on it, the dealer then sent me the decat for the car through a courier as he needed cat on it for mot and didn’t chNge it over again.

im wondering if the previous owner has switched out the engine for a standard block and sold the car with the receipts of the work which had been done on the built engine. Tomorow I have a mechanic coming around to look down the spark plug gaps with a endoscope to see if the piston are actually forged.

what will I be looking for to confirm if my theory is correct,

I might be paranoid but I need to know as it’s doing my head in.... thanks in advance
