   I've got a 1.1 first and want to decat it mainly for sound reasons, the cat is in the manifold and i was wondering can you buy a decat pipe or would it be easy enough to make one up?

   Yeahh i forgot about that bit, i know you can smash the cat out but i'm getting rid of the car in a few months so i just want a quick cheap option, can you make a pipe to fit or would it be too hard?

   well shouldnt you be asking your self that question weather if its too hard lol im guessing if you awesome with a welder and work at an exhaust place then im sure it would be easy if not then i can see it being very hard lol
   
   to do it on the cheap you can buy a standard mk1 manifold and convert to the mk1 oil filter setup but a waste of time if your selling soon, and would have to sleeve the second lambda sensor
