yh you are most likely missing the adaptor sleeve that connects the cat to the middle pipe.

you can get them from vw not sure where else, maybe gsf.

Does the old exhaust have the sleeve? you could take it off that.

the connector pipe is where the 8v exhaust shrinks..so if you have an 8v exhaust you'll need the 8v pipe (and vice versa)...try any timax/bosal dealer there only about £8-10
