   im picking up my new exhaust system on saturday
   
   it is a magnex system with a ABP straight through centre section.

   your cat is on the manifold iirc. just change over the manifold and the car will be gone!

   You need a new manifold
   
   If the centre pipe is straight through (iirc?) just bolt on a new Cat MOT-time
   
   Raceland are cheaper but SuperSprint are better, also cost £100odd more but well worth it if you can stretch
   
   Kam racing do both reduced for Sax-p

   Could always get a cat for under the car, for MOT time.

   I'm not mechanical either but it's a piece of piss to do! It's just a case of unbolting a small piece of pipe and bolting the cat in it's place, and vice versa after the MOT.

   For the later MK2 98bhp VTR, you need to fit a Magnex de-cat pipe, centre section and backbox to get the full cat back system. For de-catting, simply change the manifold and when it comes to MOT time, unbolt the de-cat pipe and slot in a CAT from an older VTR.
