Is that the idea behind splitting and keeping the original exhaust housing?

Really looking at 18/19T options that can be fitted to a T5-R, but keeping the original turbo intact so the car can be returned to standard.
Yes, but if you are looking to upgrade to 18/19t you would be better off finding an angled downpipe/cat anyway.

The scrap value of cats has gone right down recently so it is a god time to find one
