[jamievt]

hi i have a 01 vtr and looking to buy a supersprint centre section of the for sale thread the only thing is its from a mk1 vtr will this still fit mine as i have a mk2 with cat in mani atm i have a raceland mani standard centre section and Janspeed Back Box

thanks

should fit but is it a decat for the mk1? as just thinking it might be too short if it joins onto the cat

Depends on which centre section it is. If its the standard one designed to be used with an under car cat (e.g. Mark 1 VTR/VTS) then obviously theres going to be a bit missing where the cat or decat pipe would normally go.

If its a Race centre section then it will run right up to the manifold the same as the mark 2 vtr centre sections.

You'll want the second centre section then, That will go all the way from manifold to the back box.

The first one is designed to be used with an under car cat, or a decat pipe.

Would be far too loud/annoying with this hence why i kept the silencer.

maybe but im doin it for the power gain even if it is minimal and if its to bad can just put the standard one back on

Suppose....it's your car. What about a sports cat?

It'll sound great, I was running a raceland manifold, decat, supersprint centre and piper bacbox for a while. Only thing I would say if you do a lot of motor way miles then It can get really annoying.

Also be aware that for MOT time you will have to have to replace the cat.
