   Hi I have got a phase 2 vtr and want to de-cat it. Is it possible to get just a de-cat pipe from anywhere or do i have to get the manifold aswell? cheers

   On a mk2 the cat is in the manifold so a sports manifold is needed.

   My local exhaust place does them for 175 fitted custom made but I think raceland do a manifold specially for the mk2 which doesn't require it moving? I could be wrong?

   Also that's under 200 fitted, the 300 you quoted would be plus fitting at about 50+ quid.

    As far as I know the sportex's don't require the oil filter moving, there not the best but you get what you pay for and they will improve flow a LOT though
