   I thought that as well^ If it's an early mark 2 vtr e.g 1 plug ecu, then the cat is under the car, if it's a 3 plug ecu, the cat will be in the Mani, meaning a new manifold.

   there is a way,but its just sooooooooo not worth it,tooooo much agro and wont be as good as a s/s one,go out and buy a mani for a mk1 that will decat it.

   true, the amount off hassle to try decat it you would better of just buying a stainless manifold with a sportscat or decat with it

   the only way to decat a standar mani is to undo the four nuts that hold the cat and the mani together,then get a custom downpipe made,far toooo much hassle.

    Dont get a sports cat or Miltek for a saxo mate.
    
    Get either a Mk1 manifold to replace your's or an aftermarket Raceland, Piper or SuperSprint item with decat pipe (costs less and give better performance)
    
    Looking around £150 all in for the cheapest aftermarket options, Piper and SS wil be more and i've got my old fanifold spare

    the best thing to do is get a supsersprint decat manifold.
    
    although there is a company that does a stainless manifold with sports cat for a mk2?

    I'd get a performance mani and stick a cat in the exhaust system where it should be if I wanted to remain road legal!
