Default How badly does a sports cat restrict power and which is the best?

Reading the regs for Hillclimbing, it appears the road going class must have a cat if the car came with one. So that's my idea of a decat gone. It's a widetrack Prodrive STI so unless it's been changed at some point, it should have the Prodrive sports cat.

How restrictive is it and should I replace it with something newer/better? If so, which?

The Prodrive cats are very good and should not restrict your car too much really.SJ.

Could you realistically achieve 400bhp (other mods allowing) with one on?
