Looks like the rust has got to my catalyst - leaky exhaust noise finally tracked to rust developing in the upper area on the centre cat.
Now I know that at MOT time my car (JDM 1995 WRX) needs to get pretty hot to pass the emissions test so running without this cat is probably a no-no.
So, I need a centre cat - anyone got one ?
Also the rest of the exhaust is rusting as expected, backbox isn't too tragic, was taken from a P1 a few years ago so that may last yet but the centre section might as well get replaced if anyone has one.

Located near Dalkeith, south side of Edinburgh.

 

still looking for this, have done nothing for a while but deffo needs replaces asap.

 

Anyone with a cat for a classic lying around ?

 

I have one mate, From a my99 uk, looking for 60 quid plus postage

 

no need for you to worry m8 all jdm imports b4 1995 do not need to have a CAT test for MOT will look up the file for you to print out and take with you if they are being funny ..
Quoting the VOSA standard

 

Reason I had not looked to just go without the cat (car still has the 1st cat in the up-pipe) was I thought this would then risk detonation or similar problems ?
Car is standard so far other than a knocklink - will this mod not result in potentially higher boost and risk to engine ?
Extra performance at no extra cost would be nice but a blown engine is not something I want to run the risk of.
