Im not 100% on the size of the flange at the rear of the de-cat pipe, i think that's standard (hopefully someone can correct me on this) but what i do know is that the JDM cats are a different length to UKDM ones.

So the things to make sure of before you buy a decat are:

1. The size of the collector on your manifold (if you have a UKDM B16A this will be 2.25")
2. The length of the decat pipe (again, if you have a UKDM B16A you will need a specific JDM length decat to fit a JDM exhaust)

From what you have said, i think this would suit you perfectly:

Out of curiousity mate, where are you thinking of sourcing your buddy club spec II from? They seem to be pretty pricey over here but you can get them a lot cheaper in the states, just need to find someone who will ship it here for a reasonable price....

I bought my Buddy Club cam gears and camshafts here: King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc.

They ship to Rio de Janeiro and the service is great, I just don't know if the prices will be good for you.

ahh that link helps mate. thanks. i can get the spec ll for £270 delivered from vtec direct.com plus an extra 8%off cause i got a promotional code

the states are cheaper for the system but after you add on the postage it works out the same!

Rear of decat is standard. It just means a little overlap (2.5" to 2.25") on UKDM mid sections. It kind of acts as a resonator too.
