I believe that the following options are available for me to 'sports cat' my 02 STI:

TSL Thundercat + new center pipe costing ~500
H&S D/P ~500

However, the H&S D/P isn't on the H&S webpage, so I can't confirm. Also, does it require a new center section ?

H&S do a sports cat cat-pipe, but I don't know if this can be married to a decat downpipe and still pass the MOT, without overboosting (a problem on the newage STIs with decat D/Ps IIRC)

I've a decat centre at the moment, and I've a map in just over 3 weeks, so need to get this quick....

Anyone know if H&S are open on Saturday mornings ?

why not use a prodrive sports cat ?

I have the thundercat on my MY03 WRX, pi$$ed through the new MOT in May this year having had this on the car since 2003.
So very good, although i think there are cheaper ones around now surely?

Ian - If you know where I can get hold of a good prodrive one, let me know.....
I'd prefer open neck, but I don't think it'll be too much of an issue for my power requirements (maxing 340)

The Thundercat is now 'only' £400, but I'd need a classic decat centre at £100 too ( ) - though I suppose I could sell my de-resonated centre and de-cat 'cat pipe'.....

Mark, I bought a de-cat centre as well for my newage. But for you, is there not one knocking around the for-sale section? Or of course good old fleabay?

try Revolution or Scoobyworld mate.

Madass, I've been keeping an eye on the for sale, suppose I might be able to get the classic centre off there at least... (pity the search on snet is so cr4p!)

Lee - Scoobyworld only do one for classics - they're getting a newage in, but not in my timescales - I'll take a look at revolution though,

Ta,

why not the prodrive?fairly cheap and you see them regular enough second hand.it's going to be good for 350bhp with a perfect no fuss fit.picked one up for 125 quid myself.....can't be bad at that kinda money! imho your just throwing money away with anything else

Could try James at GRD for a prodrive sports cat? Sure he has some at the mo?

H&S do a combined downpipe and cat-pipe with a single sports cat in the downpipe section. It passes an MoT without problem. They will do either a 3" end (the pipe is all 3") or a taper to a 2.5" if you want to keep the standard centre section. I bought one for my 02 STI early this year as part of a group buy, for about £450. I think the usual price is about £500, but I believe they are pretty much made to order, which is why they aren't in the catalogue.

Have you tried Graham Goode? I've got a GGR sports cat which IIRC was more like £300-£400? It's got me through two MOTs and not restricted the power I've been making, roughly 300bhp with a Power FC.

Some good options there - Thanks,
