   Just wondering if i can use any decat pipe on my VTS as it has a full magnex sports cat system or would it be better to use a magnex decat.I know the magnex ones are about £40 rather than one off ebay.

   Thanks
   
   Pretty sure it's a cat back exhaust,something hangs pretty low and scrapes on everything which i think is the cat,big circular type box..well the car is really low on coilovers.

   Could be Centre silencer! Normally on later mk2's cat is in manifold.
