Hey guys, would this be a de cat? Also, can you get a sportex manifold and keep the cat in? Or would that be pointless? Cheers lads

lol depends if you want a cat or not.
The cat is in the manifold on your mk2 vtr so you will need a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 manifold to de cat it.
You can use the sportex manifold to keep the cat
Or if you want to go the cheaper way you can also use a tubular manifold from a mk2 saxo then use the under car cat from the mk1 vtr and the centre section from a mk1 vtr also.
If you want to use a mk1 tubular manifold then you will need to convert the oil filter to the canister screw on to the block type.

no sportex made a manifold with a cat in it.
The cheapest and best option is to use a 4-1 for a mk2 then use the underbody cat and system from a mk1.

Where could I find one of those sportex manifolds? I haven't seen one before..
So a 4-1 from a MK2? Then the rest from a MK1? Okay.
