Default Hawkeye De-cat options

Looking for some info on exhaust options for a hawkeye.

I have a standard exhaust system with a prodrive back box and would like to keep the center pipe and back box but remove both cats.

Just to be clear, I am I right in thinking there is a cat in the down pipe and one between the down pipe and center pipe?

The systems I have seen are full systems but I don't want to replace the full system as I like the quiet tone achieved from the resonated OEM center pipe and back box.

Thanks...

I'd suggest fitting a sport cat. The down pipe will connect direct to your OE system. Power wise there's nothing in it, and you won't have MOT issues. We supply Cobra or Milltek if you fancy one!

Thanks for the info, what is the cost delivered of each down pipe with sports cat?

I personally wouldn't fit a decat unless you have a friendly mot station

Take it you have an sti? As you know the engines aren't that reliable above 400

So if it is a fully standard 2.5 sti (like mine) I would just fit a full 3 inch exhaust with sports cat

I got the miltek system second hand from a breaker on here (sure he has another one)

There roughly 600 quid for a second hand system and near double brand new

Its a WRX

I am going to get just the sports cat down pipe to marry up to the 2nd cat and retain the rest of the OEM system.

I am aware of the potential engine problem and am only looking at 320 bhp from the car.

Going to get a VF34/35, fuel pump & down pipe. Hopefully will see me with a safe 320/350...
