Most of the ebay DP are catless.

Pretty easy job for any exhaust shop to weld one in though if thats the direction you want to go.

I can't see how it could fit a Jetta & a GTI unless you have to specify to the seller which vehicle you have.

Unfortunately, there probably isn't a cheap plug & play solution that has a catcon.

Cheapest ebay/aliexpress DP is AUD200 delivered. 200cell (100cell will throw an error) catcon is AUD120 delivered (ebay local supplier). You could probably fit the unit yourself at home providing you can just hack the length down to size (2-3hrs work) then drive to the exhaust shop & they can fit the catcon (1hr max) for $100-$150ish.

So if all the stars align you might get out of it for $420 for a cheap but probably low quality unit.

The alternative is something good like an SPM with cat for $770 locally.

42DD with cat from OS is about AUD 620 delivered but I believe the quality isn't great. There's a void of nothingness between those prices.

Maybe keep an eye out on the forums for something 2nd hand?

I have a 42dd on my S3 and have fitted a couple myself to mk6 and late model A3s. They aren't stainless but I wouldn't say the quality isn't great at all.

Mine is 2 years old now and looks pretty much as it did when it was fitted. I certainly expect it to last the life of the car.

I mean fitment quality - it sounds like it might be a bit variable. Was considering one myself but was put off from the number of instances I found of people saying they weren't terrific. I think if you are going to spend that type of money you may as well spend a bit more & get something that hasn't had any bad reviews.

If you say that you haven't had issues with several installs then that's worth taking on board as well.
