Default MOT Time. Need advice and a cat please.

Hiya
I've got a de-cat WRX Bugeye ant MOT is due end of month.
Does anyone know if I need the 1st or 2nd cat from the turbo, or do I need both of them?
Has anyone got cat/s for bugeye for sale or know of any for sale?
Cheers

Its no hardship really, they are sat in my garage waiting for me to fail the next MOT, so if someone else can benefit, even better!

I passed MOTs with the second decat on (the one after the downpipe) and the original downpipe on no problem, and my first MOT with the prodrive sportcat will be in Aug, but I hope if the cat gets hot enough there will be no issues. Are you decat or sportcat?

De-cat as far as I know. Not been under it yet but been told it's a full de-cat cobra system. I know it's loud enough!

It might be worth checking out where the local Scooby boys take there cars at mot time.if you fit std downpipe back on car should fly through even without any of the centre cats.It might be worth trying it with just the centre cat on as this will only take you 10 mins to fit and make sure the engine is hot when you take it .
