   Have a look under your car, see where the cat is? If its under the car then theres no reason why a de-cat for <2000 saxo wont fit yours.

   If you take it to somewhere like Powerflo then they can make a bypass pipe for not too much or remove your cat for you, on my VTR Unique Exhausts in Stafford (Powerflo) did it for me for £30 and you can guarantee that it fits etc then with no problems because there professionals and do it all for you.

    Just to let you know that i wanted a de-cat on mine and everywhere i went said it would straight away fail an MOT (emissions). have to be fitted to all vehicles manufactured after 1992 i think. And if the VOSA pull you for a spot check and do an emissions test you will fail as you don't have a cat. They have more power than the police to get your vehicle off the road as it's classed as unroadworthy as it would fail an MOT.
    So i still haven't got one because of this bollocks!

    Yeah I'll take it to a place near me who has strong ties to Powerflow... I guess you could just play dumb and say you thought it was always like that and that's how you bought it...?
