The later MK2 VTR's had the cat in the manifold, so if he is talking about fitting it to a later MK2, then yes it will decat it.

If you have a mk1 saxo the cat is in the centre pipe so the manifold doe's not have the cat it.

So if you have a cat in your centre pipe you will be fine passing your mot!

Yes your cat will fit between them, but I would recommend getting a de-cat pipe, you will enjoy the sound and the somewhat improved performance :y:

theres not too much gains without a cat its amazing what people think.

is Stockhatch they run with cats and they still produces same sorts of power out of the saxo

It sounds better though so that means it's more powerful, right?
Nah it does feel a little more responsive though, enough to notice it.
Hence why lots of people do it.
