200 wont get you cat back, for rear box scorpion do one for 190quid

tbh id save the extra 80quid to go cat back mate as youll only want to do it eventually anyway

It's pointLess getting just a backbox for the tdi. The biggest restriction is the cat. I would go for a full miltek non res system and get the sound/performance benifit also.

ive just had a custom stainless done it cost me £300 and its full system including decat.

id save up the extra personally

Where and what did you get Seal??

i had it done at MIJ performance in walsall. good service, great choice of tailpipes and sound.

i had what they call the midsport which gives a nice noise when going further up the rev range but cruising is still as quiet as before.

they do a standard sound and a full sport which i imagine is more leary than mine.

resonated will be standard sound and non resonated will give you more of a petrol grunt.

cheapest i have seen is on ebay and there about £375

Am i right in thinking that with it being a diesel it will still go through the emissions on a MOT without a cat?

With a good blast up the local dual carriageway to clear it out first yes!
