I've never seen a 'PPP downpipe' that looks like this before!

As the seller says: 'You can trust me, there is a hole straight through so there is no cat in this pipe'.

The PPP is not a decat. That's illegal. They run a sportscat.

Not quite true. It's illegal to run a car which would fail an emissions test

Yup, he's not wrong.

The PPP comes with a straight through section to replace the second cat, before it is fitted to the vehicle, you are supposed to remove the heat shields from the cat pipe & fit them to the de-cat section, althought I have seen plenty of cars where the shield has been left off.
