You have a classic, which doesn't have a cat in the up-pipe, so better to spend your readies on a sportscat downpipe for £300ish from Scoobyworld or API.

It connects exhaust manifold to turbo, IIRC.

IIRC = If I Remember Correctly

I assume he means that rather than "If I Really Cared"

Found a diagram
