   Hi can anyone tell me if the exhaust on the mk2 vts is in 3 pieces as my engine has the manifold on but no cat, the cat bolts on to the manifold obviously but when i looked at the cat it didnt look like the down pipes were on it are these seperate aswell? if so whats the crack with a branch manifold for the mk2 vts does it decat them at the same time as changing the manifold hope ppl understand what am trying to say here

   No all VTS have the cat under the car so a new manifold wont decat it.

   fit manifold + cat back exhaust and a cat/decat pipe.
   
   if your using a std exhaust off mk2 vtr it should just bolt to fannymould direct as is longer as std
