New catalyst price just over £3,200 from Subaru. Anybody know of an aftermarket part, not holding my breath!

 

Is it a New Age or a Hatch ? as the cats are different.

New Age 44620AA540
Hatch 44620AB280

 

Sorry Don it is a basic 2.0 llr non turbo hatch with the cat parts number 44620AB280

Car is 67,000 miles, good runner and all parts that are worn are replaced when required. Seems a pity to pay that much but I see the cat for that car is one fabrication of two manifolds and a cat in one unit.

It is the old story when running an old car that a certain new part makes it uneconomic to repair but with the current second hand car prices what price do I have to pay to get something similar?

On the other hand buy a new car at say £35,000 and you pay £3,000 each year in depreciation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what is a "new age" a description of? Could that be the STI salon.

 

Newage - 2nd Generation Impreza - MY01-07 Bugeye/Blobeye/Hawkeye
3rd Generation Impreza - MY08 -11 Hatch and MY11-14,WRXSTI Saloon

You may find that 44620AB280 actually includes both cats and pipework back to the donut exhaust joint
