I believe they is two on a new age STI, one on the down pipe and one on the centre section, but for some reason the new age WRX has three - same as above but one in the up pipe as well.
Not sure why but I'm sure someone better informed will explain why!

Might be an idea to source a mid-section cat for your MOT, they can crop up on here cheap.
By memory you will just pass an MOT with just the mid-section cat as long as it's hot.

From what I've been told, the extra cats are there to comply with American emmisions regulations.
Their mot requires a test at start-up from cold.
