   well this pipe will de-cat it did you know that?
   
   also i think the only things that the mk2 pipe might have over the mk1 pipe is the second lambda sensor, so you will just use a bolt to block the hole off

   all u will need a bolt to screw in to the second lamba sensor hole
   
   my superspint center section is exactly the same

   mk1's have one sensor
   
   mk2's have 2 sensors
   
   hes fitting a mk2 pipe to a mk1 so he wont be left with any sensors just a hole to screw the second lambda sensor in to if he had a mk2

    i took the phase 2 center section off, theres no wires (sensors?) off it noticed one just on the manifold, but there will be one on the center section of my phase1 because of the cat right?

    it'll be a straight swap then, i thought there was a lambda sensor in the center section of mk2's but there must be two in the manifold, so its a 100% straight swap
