Well went to exhaust place after work and gettin a 2.5" down pipe and sports cat for £170 + VAT! 
When lookin at the cat thats in the now why is the probe before the cat and not after? Thot the probe on the downpipe would measure whats goin in and have one AFTER the cat that measures whats goin out? Then then the ECU measures the difference?

@Kenny i had the same question, but with all the Milltek exhaust system from a Ibiza 1.8T. I mailed the guys from Milltek and they said the exhaust system will fit with some adjustments, but fitting the exhaust will cause the engine to work incorrectly. They advised me to wait until november, when they will release their Polo GTi exhaust.

so no mention there as the engine wont work correctly
just that its a close fit, and indeed it is, just about 4 inches too long, so the tailpipes need modifying to fit the polo bumper not the ibiza one
