    Hmm correct me if I'm wrong
    Empire downpipe $189 + 55
    200 Cell Cat: $150?
    Weld: $100?
    Total: $484

    May be worthwhile is picking up a brand name second hand downpipe in the end...

    Yup agreed but I haven't seem any come up. Knowing my luck there will probably be a flurry of them now.

    Yeah no probs, I'm going to document it so it's easier for people to go my way. I figure I'm up for about $500 - 550 when done.
    I guess my other motivation is that I don't have to fork it all out in one go.

    I still have the question of 100 cell or 200 cell cat.

    I understand that a 200 cell is better for the environment bit on the grand scheme of things does it hurt performance that much?

    I heard with a 100 cell you'll throw a CEL, don't quote me though as that may not apply to the stage 2 tune...

    Downpipe for 2008 VRS TFSI

    If you get the appropriate tune update then it wont matter whether you have no cat, a 100 cel, 200 cel or otherwise.

    100 cel will not pass an emissions test though - better off to get a 200 cel and then you wont have to worry about that. All the aftermarket dump pipes have 200 cel cats

    200 Cell if you want to remain legal, 0 cells if you don't Performance loss negligible in the grand scheme of things

    also, if it takes a few days to organise your tune, you can do about 50km without the CEL coming on. not to mention it doesn't really do any damage. it just thinks the cat is dead.

    I have ordered a 200 cel cat. My thinking is that I may as well try and remain as legal as possible.

    I have done a bit of reading and the power difference between 100 and 200 cel is not a real hell of a lot.
    I have a OBD 2 dongle that I can use to check the CEL code to make sure it is only the cat that is pulling the error.

    Thanks everybody for your help and suggestions so far. When I have this all done I will do a little write up so others can find the info without asking all the same questions that I have.
