   Right i've got a mk1 with magnex back box and centre section on, that I want to swap over to my mk2 as it has a standard vtr system, which ideally I would like to put on my mk1.
   However the systems are slightly different due to the possion of the cats, what are my options to sort this?

   If the CAT is in the manifold, you need a Magnex decat pipe to extend the system.

   You need a de-cat mate. But i dont think it HAS to be a magnex.

   right so I get a de-cat pipe to make up the extra length to the manifold, for the mk1 to mk2, But how do i fixed the orignial/ standard exhaust from the mk2 to the mk1? As if i remeber right the centre section goes straight to the manifod without a join so would be de-catting the mk1? correct
