   depends what car you have mate.
   vts's - all cats are under the car
   up to early 2001 all were under car
   after 2001 i think april the cat were in the mani
   
   if you've ordered two that surely should have been a give away only the mk2's with the cat in the mani have 2 lamba sensors iirc pre and post cat readings./

   52 plate will definitely be CAT in manifold.

   it depends what year it is mate, the swap over from mk 1 to mk 2 was round about 2000 i think so with cars from 1999 to 2001 could have either cat under neath or cat in the manifold. just depends, but as the OP said his is a 52 plate it will definatly have a cat bolted under the manifold and not under the car.
