   The supersprint race tube removes the cat and the cat back lets you keep the cat on the exhaust system.

    You don't have to? Just keep the cat pipe on and the cat back pipe for your car will fit on to it.

    yea i no it'll fit lol im just sayin if ive gone to the expense of buying the centre pipe and a new manifold then ive still got the old cat inbetween the mani and the centre pipe so im wondering if that will restrict it much? if so i want a sports cat or i might just get a de-cat pipe watever would be better
