Clarification

So, first I used the wrong emoji:-) the 25hp gain was meant to be a joke. I would guess I got another 5hp from not having the upper cats and sealing a leaking exhaust system. The cost of the Y pipe was $175.00 from SNGB, it is the pipe in the Jaguar Classic Catalog and is a direct fit. I went to a local custom exhaust shop and for an additional $350 they removed the 4 O2 sensors and reinstalled on the new Y pipe. Additionally, they welded a new intermediate pipe to the Y pipe. It is not a bolt on as the original was. I dont know what markets this non-catalyst was sold in. The CEL is on as you can imagine and when I had an inspection 1466 came up, which is the eprom fix. There is literally no change in the sound, I still have underfloor mufflers, cats and resonators at the back.

Not had any warning lights come on the dash since its been done though I've not seen any sensors on the old cat pipes so I don't know if its a different set up to your car

hey bud how do ya get to the bolt you carnt see from underneath the car from the manifold to downpipe section and exhaust 😬
