MK2 manifold & cat - Saxperience

Saxo_Steve · 24th December 2006, 01:12

I have a magnex cat back system on my vtr, now looking at getting a raceland manifold. Obviously this will decat my car as the cat is in the manifold. What I want to know is instead of putting the old manifold back on for each mot, could I just put an mk1 cat on? I think it would fit as my cat back system has what would be the cat replacement pipe on the mk1, but can anyone confirm? And would it affect emmisions etc? Thanks, and merry christmas!

if you could,it would be sound with emms,as you have a cat still,and think its all the same.
i have thought of this too so would like to know to
merry xmass

if the mk1 cat will fit inbetween the manifold and centre section then yes

it would be a solution certainly and a better one than swapping manifolds each MOT.

you would also need the centre section from the earlier saxo

hesslevtr, the magnex system I have is the mk1 system but with the cat bypass pipe. My brother, who fitted it for me, thought they had sent the wrong one as it was the same as his exhaust on his mk1, but turns out it's the same zorst with the decat pipe! So should be ok.
