Im not sure actually thought the upgrade pipe would be 2.5inch, if not I may buy one...
i asked the guy selling the bypass pipe (diesel middle pipe, no box) and he said it was 2" O/D so i think it should be a straight fit, as for the sportex pipe im not sure.
i think the standard cat is 2" too. it should flow a bit better once i cut out the inners.

just get a lenth of pipe from your local motor factors, chop out the cat and the middle box and weld the strait pipe in, thats how mine is done with a standard back box as i didnt want any noise.
for the price of the decat your looking at you will get a lenth of pipe and if your handy with the welder shouldnt cost no more than £10.
mine was already done when i got the car i just had to weld it properly :rolleyes:
