   if i remember correctly, i'm sure the mk2 exhaust center section might be a bit longer than the center of the mk1's exhaust for some reason. could get a custom section made up but imo not worth the hassle.

   by looking at them wouldnt u be able to disconnect the decat pipe bit that covers the diffrence on mark two so it would fit the mk1

   the mk2 98bhp model is difrent as the cat is in the manifold but if your fitting a mk2 to a mk1 it will act as a decat. if fitting a mk1 to mk2 you will need a longer pipe a decat will probley fit the diffrence
   
   i think that will be the only difrence

   so if you didnt use the front pipe supplied on the mk2 vtr pic above would it connect straight to the cat!

   the bloke has told me it has 3 pieces like in the pic do you think jetex have just made an extension to the system to fit the mark twos. im thinking the price is more because basically your buyin the decat pipe aswell to make it fit. but im just thinkin! :s

    got an email from jetex...
    
    The systems are quite different,if you look at www.jetex.co.uk you will see
    the dates of the models.
    
    The de-cat pipe used for MK1 is used as an extension pipe for the Mk2 so
    that it fits to the down pipe of the MK 2.
    
    We have stock.
    
    Thanks,
    
    how are they diffrent if they do use the decat pipe? is it a diffrent shape or are the brackets in diffrent positions or summit :s ive sent another email back askin anyway

    alrite mate maybe its diffrent between systems as the bloke who is selling said his is made up of 3 pieces and the pic above is in three pieces. the bloke from jetex said the decat pipe from a mark one is used as an extension? has anyone else changed exhausts overs from a mk1 to mk2 when buying a new car or in the for sale section?
