I think this pipe is going to be part of my answer, just need a back box now!

Will this pipe be a direct fit to my standard cat?

Well could i fit a universal exhaust with this pipe to get it cheaper?

As an exhaust for a mk3 just seems to be more expensive? What are the differences?

the mk3 ones are ment to be direct fit so means they sell less uni ones the can sell more off

cheepist one i have found is piper £130

if you have a mate who is good whit a welder or if you can weld (which i can not ) that pipe and a uni back box is a good idea may be a tad loud tho ?
