Question STI5 Downpipe needed

Need a catted downpipe for my `99 STI5 Type R. Its due an mot in 2 weeks
and the original has just sheared off at the centre pipe flange. I would get a decatted pipe but it`ll fail the emmisions so I need to locate a part other than from Subaru. Anybody got any ideas ?

Do you still have the centre?

Put a decat downpipe on and the centre cat in and it will pass the MOT fine.

There was no cat in the centre pipe on the STI`s mate, it was just a resonator.
I aint even got that now coz that sheared at the flange with the backbox about a year ago so I replaced it with a s/s centre section. Thanks anyway.
Any other suggestions folks ?

If I was sure it would pass emmissions I`d much prefer to get a decat downpipe. Is it certain to pass when the engine is hot ?
