lol,
a related question...
on the mk3... if you do decat - and still pass emissions - will it not mess then running of the engine up cos there will be no reading from the lambda sensor - or does that stay on (cant remember if it is on the cat or not - co i know my mini ran like a dog with it off!! was fast though, lol)

the lambda stays in place it before the cat on the downpipe . your right though the engine would run like poo without it

dont answer if you dont know.. the sensor is on the cat which is why de-cats have the hole for them.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLF-MK3-2-0-8V-16V-VR6-EXHAUST-MILLTEK-DE-CAT-PIPE_W0QQitemZ230375335342QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a370a5ae

i just took off my downpipe and cat and the lambda sensor was in the downpipe

Whatever happens you need a lambda sensor and they should be fitted before the cat as they monitor the mixture entering the cat.
