   Heloooo,
   Plan was to fit my exhaust tomoz, but dad has just had a quick look while at work and he said the centre pipe looked welded to cat.
   
   Is this normal and how do i go about getting it off and fitting the new one?
   I have a clamp for the backbox onto the centre pipe and hangers for the back box and there a hanger welded onto the centre pipe.
   
   
   Thanks

   its basically a straight piece of pipe about 5-6 inches long with a slightly smaller diameter so that it can slide into the two pieces of original exhaust that u cut, its got an exhaust clamp on each end to tighten everyting up!!

    have you got the right "cat back" exhaust for your year of car?
    
    vtr have 2 different types.. as some have the cat in the manifold.(think like yours)
    
    others (older ones) have the cat under the car...
