Can straight-through Cat bypasses be bought aftermarket? I've never actually seen it advertised!

nah u just have to chop the cat out and put a straight bit of pipe in there... I'm using the middle section out of a golf mk3 i think. it would fail an emissions test tho i think so I'm going to get it sorted as soon as
