The cat is on part of the front pipe/manifold on a 1.0. The box under the car in the middle is just a baffler.

I had straight through on my old one. Id say it did make it slower, even tho it sounded faster, was all phycological with the noise. And its not exactly a nice sound, people just laugh at you sounding like your nailing it round everywhere lol motorway jorneys were hell

don't do it!
best thing to do is drill and de-restrict the airbox really...you still won't notice much/any difference in performance, just sounds nicer

Well they're not exactly what you'd call rapid to start with so if you've got clearance issues you might as well do it mate. Love the sound mine makes with it on!

It's just slowing down on you because you have a x16 in the garage...The x10 is in a mood with you
