definitely not an engineer but would the power dip around 7,000 RPM have anything to do with it?

Yes it's possible. The previous owner had an aftermarket can on that failed the mot, so he put the regular one on it. I think he had it rejected for the aftermarket can so maybe I need to get it put back to std. Is it expensive to do? PDQ aren't far from me who I think are pretty good at that sort of stuff.

And I agree about the down pipes. There are a few bits of rust on it, but the seller cleaned up one of the down pipes really nicely with a bit of emery paper so it looks like it'll clean up easily so I can reprint. Or I may just get some stainless steel
