Default sports cat recommendations

i have a 2002 bug sti and would like to know what sports cat you could recommend. i have roger clarke motorsport headers, k&n panel filter, miltek de-resonated centre section and an after burner vortex back box. my next move is to get a harvey up-pipe, walbro fuel pump and then the remap. obviously a decat pipe would be cheaper, but i dont want the hassle at mot time. i,ve looked at japspeed, ninja and cobra, but just cannot decide.(miltek is way too expensive). can anyone advise?

prodrive sport cat if you dont plan on going over 400. I have just bought one myself and sold my decat as i think it will suit me better.

As above, prodrive sportcat will perform a smidge behind a true decat, and will save you swapping cats come MOT time.

Unless I am very much mistaken, and I think I am not, that is not a Prodrive sportcat, it is a boggo Impreza cat with Lambda sensor.

I had o sportcat sat in the garage and saw it every day, mine the early one had a heat jacket on it, the newer ones have a metallic insulation integrated into it.

I've got my old sports cat lying around somewhere. If you send me a PM I'll have a look in the garage tomorrow (otherwise I'll forget )

That eBay add is misleading it is centre pipe and if a prodrive part from wrx has no cat in it at all and is worth a max of £50 the sport cat is in the downpipe and the pipe on eBay is either a standard wrx cat or a prodrive cat delete pipe. Someone will be disappointed if they pay the current bid price
