   i have a shitty 1.1i (for the time being) 2000 model on a W plate (MK2)
   
   Soo, because the cat is in the manifold, ive been told that a way to de-cat, just switch the manifold with a MK1 manifold.
   
   just wondering if this will actually work? and will anything else have to be changed?.. lol
   
   cheers guys

   It won't need to be moved if your replacing with a standard saxo manifold.. Only the like's of a raceland 4-2-1.
   
   I did it on my VTR as a temp de-cat.. 1.4 quicksilver/ mk1 VTR mani and downpipe..

   Not much point really, all you will get is loads of noise from a slow car and a headache at mot time.

   yeah i know really, atm i dont need it de-cat, with the exhaust system i already have it gives off a loud but nice roar, the exhaust bubbles and pops when idling, all nice sounds, but its alittle too loud on times.
   
   so im about to by a sportex exhaust system, but ive seen them on cars they look the part and give off a nice purr, but just incase its too quiet on my saxo, MAY consider de-cat (very doubt i will though tbh )
   thanks anyway lads!
