2. Change it
3. If you don't want to modify it, buy another sti up-pipe off a breaker. You should be able to get one for around £50

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?

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.
