if your wanting to get an exhaust done why not get a cat back system, will sound better than just some random backbox fitted :)

cheap = bad fitment

but vr and 16v from the cat back go on with a connection piece and there's normally loads of good used one's for sale

where can i get the connecting bit from then? i would like a cat back system just depends how it sounds i've heard rumers they sound rough with a cat back. not many video's of cabrio's with exhausts.

A cat back system does not mean loosing the cat. It means an exhaust from the cat back.
In guessing you thought it ment having a decat fitted  :undecided:
