i have got a 2.0 seh under the bonnet and have used an astra GTE manifold, and then the corsa cat-back system.
I need the mate the 2 up with a 'de-cat' pipe, and i was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on the best way. Welding a pipe in will not work as i want there to be some give between the the engine and exhaust.
Tweeks have said 'about £100'. so if anyone has any cheaper and quicker (as it'll have to be trailered there) suggestions, or even one for sale...i'd be grateful
cheers

Just go buy some flexible exhaust pipe, Partco round here sell it £15 for 3M! Get 2 exhaust clamps and slide it over the 2 sections and away you go

do they nearly meet up?? if so..
cut wedge shape from de-cat,
bend to it lines up to manifold, and then weld the hole up
