Take the air filter out of the box for the test. It'll bring it down

Just fit a Japspeed sports cat, 200 cell will pass easy, 100cell needs warming up. But even a 3" should match up, pipe might be abit thinner bolts should line up. My mate had a 2.25" back box fitted to a 2.5 standard centre pipe on his 1994 WRX, from previous owner.
Just to confirm what you are saying are a load of rubbish with regards to failure:

Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar vehicle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition (8.1.1 (a))

Exhaust catalytic converter obviously modified (8.2.1.1 (a))

These comments you are saying?
