I take it the old owner never gave you the standard cat then?
I dunno how much a new cat is? I'm sure someone will know? I know you can get a Janspeed sports cat for the GTi delivered for £299.

around 100 or a bit more for a normal cat.
no point to put in sport cat unless you got cam or throttle body done.

no i asked if the old owner still had the cat but he threw it away and its most likely gonna have a standard cat fitted back to it.
And thanks just gives me a rough idea of how much it is for it.

100 quid aint too bad. a bargain for some rhodium, palladium and platinum
I've heard the sports cats are very good, which is why I've ordered one. Each to their own though.

there isn't much catalsyt in the cat anyway and they aren't too expensive. i use them everyday 
or i should say they are very good for more tuned engine then stock engine
