   Right, i have just fitted a magnex cat back system to my mk2 vtr. I want to buy the raceland 4-1 manifold but put the cat back under the car. Is there any point in gettin the manifold if i still have the cat, will there be any performance gain? Thanks

   yea i want to decat it but on the island the police are craking down heavily on modified cars. Every car they pulled with a non standard exhaust had to have an mot within 14 days

   a true dilema,
   
   fitting a four branch you would still gain with the cat on, just not as much as without

   Cyber on the Rallye register sells them at good prices. I got mine second hand. I have the cat on but there's still a slight gain to be had, and the sound is ace!

   well any power gain is good, and sound is an added bonus! I will take a look on the rallye register now.
