    will lose SO much performance taking the inside of your CAT out becuase if you think about it you will just have a hollow chamber and the air wont fow through it it will just swirl around inside it

    will sound shit as well

    if it fits it would work - would just have to find a home for the lambda sensors

    I read the first post, WHERE he stated that he had a mk2 cat in manifold engine.

    Hence why i replied informing you that the cat is part of the manifold

    If the 1.0 manni is from a MK1 then yes it will decat your MK2 VTR if the cat is in the manni. But you will most likely need a lambada sleve.

    now heres a noob question......why will i need the lambda sleeve?

    is it to hold the sensors in place? i am going to get the manifold of the 1.0 today for a closer inspection

    the manifold wont match up with the centre section, the thickness is so different, i tried a furio one and it was far to small

    i had a thought about what you said, how come you can buy an aftermarket 8v manifold that can can fit anything from a 1.1 to a VTR then?...clicky

    i have the mk1 manifold off and have been looking at how it will fit on the VTR.

    will the oil filter have to be moved or will i get away with it?

    has this ever been done before?
