   No mate would have to be a Ashley one
   
   As Ashleys exhausts aint OE fit
   
   You have to get all the inter changing sections from Ashley

   If it is cat back system then it would have to fit a magnex decat.Otherwise how would it join to the cat in the first place? As the magnex and the cat are exactly the same fittings size and everything.
   
   So id say yes.

   I disagree
   
   Tried that on my vts would work
   
   All the sections slide into each other this is why they are different

   Sounds like it would be a right hassle when it comes to MOT time as you cant just put the cat back in you would have to replace the whole system.

   Actually now i come to think about it you do get a metal bracket in the kit which slides into the middle section and then joins the car with a flange
   
   So sorry i was alittle wrong you can
   
   But but the decat anyway lol

    ooook a little confusing...
    
    ive got a furio 2001 plate.
    
    so an ashley cat back system WOULD fit a magnex decat section? providing theres a metal bracket?

    if the cat is in the manifold you'll need to buy a new manifold to decat
    an if its under the car i dunno if this is possible but if you buy the full system for the car with cat in manifold that system is from manifold back this would decat yours

    also just wondering do you get much popping from a cat back system?
    
    ive heard the exhaust pops quite abit when its had a decat but that isnt an option now.
    
    and is there a difference between a cat back system and straight through system???

    if i was to buy a raceland manifold and fit a cat back system, would this mean there is no cat being as it was in the manifold?
