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? :P

cheers

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
