right a
full cat bk is :from the catalyst bk(so ya cat still there)
straight thru:is from the manifold bk,no cat or centre boxes,
backbox:as it sez just the back box alone
manifold:branched in to 4 pipes coming of the engine into the exhaust system,
de-cat:a pipe that replaces your catalyst that make it in to a straight thru system
hope this helps

yea that helps alot mate
just a few more questions though if you dont mind
I need a cat to pass the MOT dont i? If so, what full exhaust system could i get (either or without a manifold) that will give me the most noticeable performance increase, along with that lovely rally car sound?
cheers

Finally got an exhaust on Friday.
Full cat back from powerflow - looks sweet and sounds even better
Still need to take it on the motorway - see what damage can be done

Just fit a new power flow exhaust and kept the old back box and pipe
Anyone that wants to put their exhaust back to standard (for sale purposes etc) make an offer
