Waste of time and it wont just be me telling you this eather you tend to loose power decating a 1.1 and make it sound redicilous you will not gain anything just buy normal breather mods such as enclosed induction decent back box decent exhaust system cant really.do much to the 1.1 imo unless you have deep pockets.

This is complete bullshit. Show me the evidence to prove this
And as said above a mk2 1.1 pipe is the best/cheapest option

Seems pointless.
No noticeable power gain and you have the ballache of swapping it back for the MOT.

When did i say that u gain power? I said u dont loose power, in what way would taking a cat wich is restrictive out of an exhaust system cause u to loose power? Please explain this. And if u say the standard "u will loose backpressure" then u will simply show u are a retard and u know nothing about exhausts.

Pointless mod, they give me giggles out there when they floor it. Lots of noise yet not going any faster, the sound of nought to 60 in two weeks.

my mk2 1.1 cat was under the car aswell, but generally when referring to mk2 the cat is in the manifold. anyways that is the pipe in the link you need. as i said i used it on my car and for £20 it's not really going to break you
