No...

This is a de-cat as in it completely removes the cat, wheras the K-Tec one is a replacement "sports cat" which is a lot less restrictive, but you still have a cat!

which in your opinion is the better mate for power gains? are they both stainless steel? when the mot is due can i simply change them over? cheers buddy

K-tec do a racing cat and a de-cat.

But their de-cat is for a mk1, so unless you have an exhaust with a telescopic section youll find it comes up about 2 inchs too short.

Probably minimal difference in terms of power gains, they both do the same thing, and thats remove restriction.

But the price of the sports cat is a LOT more than a de-cat!

Not sure what theyre made from, but I think the sports cat is SS

As for MOTs you need to swap back with a de-cat, but the sports cat will still pass the emissions tests, so can be left on!
