Your uppipe shouldn't have a cat in it, and the best fix would be to source another sti uppipe from a breaker and fit that, or you may be able to get yours fixed (welded?)
But are you sure it's the uppipe, may just be a heat shield rattling? Have you had a loss of power or any other symptoms? |
Sorry should have give more info. It is the heat shield that is rattling so my thinking is to take off the heat shield and heat wrap the pipe.

Others I know have removed the shielding and replaced with wrapping.
Before I put on an Sti uppipe I got mine welded in a couple of extra places to be sure. Phil |
