This will be what you are after.
This has only done 1000miles. I bought it ages ago as a spare and may be tempted to part with it. These are becoming difficult to find and not sure you will find another one in this condition with as few miles. There are two very small dents in the heat shield which must have happened in storage, they in no way affect the cat and are superficial on the heat shield. This is the later style one which was fitted to some late 04 cars but mostly 05 on. I have had one on my road car for the last 6 years and it has passed the MoT with ease every year and it is the only cat on the car.

How much are you after and are you 100% that the small dents don't affect it?

Sorry if that's a silly question, I just like to be sure I know what's what

The dents are on the heat shield and in no way affect the cat. The later Prodrive sports cats had a heat shield with a metal outer as shown. The early ones had a crap blanket affair attached to the main cat area. Looking for £210 delivered

The pics make it look much worse than it is. The cat is as close to new as you will get.

Good luck then you won't get a Prodrive one in great condition for that money.

The breakers sell them for 150. Would expect to find one a bit cheaper via a private sale.

Yours is awesome and I definitely won't get one with such low mileage, but I can accept that.

Post back up when you find a late model one and the condition and more importantly the price. I will hang onto this one.

I've bought one on eBay last night for £63 + postage. From a WR1. I'm happy enough with that.

I let one go that finished shortly afterwards, although I was tempted. £103 from an RB320.

I seen the one at £63 it was the older style with the blanket.

You could have also had this one for £100 which wont flow as well as its not bell mouth

you get what you pay for I have learned that the hard way. Happy you are sorted.
