   De-cat mate if you have a search on ebay then depending on whether your saxo is mk1/mk2 you should be able to find what you need(used)

   no
   
   Take out the center silencer, leave the cat in.. will be loud and will pass an MOT

   If it fits bore(size)then the 1.1 saxo doesn`t have a centre silcencer just has a pipe so maybe that`ll fit.
