Cheers for the comments guys. I trailered the car to Torque Exhaust in Enfeild yesterday, Simon and Tony wanted to see why the Turbo gasket and manifold had been blown out. They removed the de-cat, placed stands under the system so it sat perfect and then offered the de-cat up to it. There was about a 15mm gap at the top of the pipe, so whilst trying to tighten it up I had pulled the exhaust out of line and it had obviously been pulling on the manifold.
They then cut the de-cat and welded it back together allowing the flanges to line up perfectly. Top job and I highly recommend these guys, I did notice that whilst I had fitted the de-cat on the piss it had caused the tail pipe to be out of line and burnt the rear bumper
Oil change and she is ready for Round 5 at Silverstone, unless I can get a F-con V pro before then
