   cool, do you think ill get much of a performance gain
   as obviously my VTS will become decatted.
   
   also, i will need to buy a Lambda sensor sleeve to stop the Engine management light coming on?

   i thought that they were a cat back pipe. should check. if its for a cat in manifold jobby then obviously it will de cat a cat under car engine.
   
   as with anything you wont see huge increases imo.
   
   if yours has a 2nd lambda id recommend a sleeve for it yes.

   those race tubes i thought were a backbox to downpipe fit.
   All VTS have Cat under car.

   the supersprint race tubes don't fit the vts back boxs i've tryed it on my 52 reg vts you need to change the back box as well. although you could get someone to make it fit with a welder.

    the race cat replacement centre section is very good. Nice and light and fits from downpipe to backbox.

    Matt mate, i think on GMC motorsport you have to buy a sleeve and tie the lambda sensor up in order to get rid of that light.

    Lambda sleeve for cars with 2 lambda probes, when cat is taken off - £12
    
    search for that on their pricing page.
    think it might be that?
