dimis Hi. As some of you might now I fitted an HJS 200 cell catalytic converter a few weeks ago instead of the Magnaflow catalyst that I bought from ebay. The reason of this decision was due to the inform I got from two exhaust tuning shops I visited in order to arrange an appointment to fit the Magnaflow exhaust. Both shops informed me that the model of the Magnaflow I bought was small and not adiquate to handle more than 200bhp. I would probably damage the Magnaflow catalytic converter and maybe the O2 sensor (fitted after the catalytic converter). So they suggested to fit an HJS 200 cell. They also stated that I would not have problems with check engine light. So since I wanted more performance I decided to go for the HJS catalytic converter. Unfortunately after a few days the check engine light appeared while I was driving with a steady speed (90km) at the heighway. I pulled over and reset the ECU and the check engine light turned off. This phenomenon happened two more times again while I was driving the motorway. All the times that I drived aggresively and full throttle I did not have any problems. I enjoyed the extra power and performance. So today I went back to the exhaust shop and fitted a ceramic spacer. So I hope I will not have any further problems with check engine light. The pic shows the HJS cat before we added the spacer:
thanks for all the pics

I just ordered it mate from USA ebay. I will receive the strut next week. I will take pics before, during and after I have it fitted. This pic is from an IS300 owner (i think). I will also write a review of the handling improvement.
