   Pattern part by any chance.
   
   All mk1 should be the same and all mk2 should be the same. I have a mk1 1.1 cat on mine.

   as said any mk2 downpipe SHOULD fit, wheather or not vtr is adifferent size i cant confirm but sory blackie lol but i dont think they should be any different ive had a 1.1 cat on my vtr/vts
   
   i have bought vtr exhasut parts fro my old vtr and they didnt fit... it was down to cheap parts and not the actual fitment
   
   and then ive bought 1.1 parts and they fit straight on, just luck really but if its a oem part then it should fit on

   I've had vtr and quicky ones side by side before and the vtr one was bigger, may have just been pattern part as said, but we're defo diff
   
   Don't see why the should be.. But they were
