I found a used CDA with around 5000 miles, so it is in a very good condition. This is not the specific one for the 100HP, I think about buying it and then make new connections with black silicone hoses as you suggested.

Thank you Dave :worship:



As soon as I will find the Sparco strut brace I will buy it and then we will see the possible benefit :slayer:



Maybe you are right here, but CDA costs about 200 pounds (taking away the savings that gives you every year on filter change) and an upgrade with manifold, metal catalyst and additional module over 1000 pounds. I do not want more noise at the exhaust, so I don't think this is worth at all.

You're just going to waste money. Strut braces are designed to stop the inward flex of the strut tops during corners, by bracing them against each other across the car. As has already been indicated, the strut tops on the Panda are right next to the bulkhead, because of which, will not allow the strut tops to flex inwards, so adding more metal at a cost to you is adding no benefit whatsoever.

If you really want a performance improvement, put the cost of the strut brace and air intake mods towards a full exhaust system. Cylinder head to tail pipe. Manifolds appear from time to time in the For Sale section and any aftermarket exhaust will be better than standard. They don't have to be noisy.
