Look in the for sale section on here "full cars breaking for spares" you may get one there if your looking for a second hand one

I have the Prodrive Sports cat on mine and works well (part of the PPP)

Is your STI or WRX ?

Do you think the Prodrive Sport Cat still restricts the power compared to a full decat?

All cats restrict power, but then you have the noise to battle with, plus often needing to find a place for MOT that is "Friendly"

If I was to change my down pipe I would be looking at may be 20 bhp increase currently running 353/400

But that is only half the storey, the car will spool quicker and give a lot more torque with a new downpipe

What's the general conseus on here regarding unbranded stuff on eBay?
I was looking to get the car mapped in the next month or so. Will these up and downpipes help release a lot more power?

I think the general thought on unbranded stuff and stuff like toyo sports etc,is that it may or may not fit properly.
Brackets could be in the wrong place or it might rub on steering rack because it's not designed right.
But I think some people have been lucky.
I've fitted a cobra one before and I've now got a hayward and Scott.
Both fit perfectly with all brackets in line.
I've always tried to get the better makes but second hand off here or eBay.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated
Problem is I keep looking through here and eBay and Gumtree but everything I see tends to be "unbranded".
I've been recommended to get a Japspeed Decay downpipe but not sure if I can justify paying the rrp price of new.
