savage bulldogs Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I had a cobra sports cat(fairly good quality) think I paid about £250 for it new and only upgraded due to fitting a full 5zigen system . if your gonna fit it yourself grab yourself a turbo outlet gasket, downpipe to cat back 'o' ring and maybe new cat back bolts/springs (if they don't come with the new cat as a kit). "import car parts" is probably the cheapest place to get your gaskets 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 cheapest route is a decat but bear in mind you will need a place that does MOT or just change it every year or as stated a cobra sports cat :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncer Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 If you've got no joy with them i'd try a breakers or part search, what year is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggs Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Most stuff for subarus seems to mate well, aftermarket to stock, I'd go decat and have a look for an mot garage that'll lt it pass without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Just had a squint on the cobra site but they've gone up £100 in price over the past 2years http://www.cobrasport.com/exhaust/Subaru/Impreza+Turbo+WRX+and+STI++%2894-00%29/31/0/0 Could try japspeed http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-GC8/Subaru-Impreza-GC8/Subaru-Impreza-Classic-High-Flow-Sports-CAT/p-23-1-403/ Haven't bought any zorst bits of them but seems cheap and sure looks shiny lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'd go decat and have a look for an mot garage that'll lt it pass without That's what mine's like on the wrx but I'll have to either get a sports cat, original full system or change the mot place (which I've used for the last 14ish years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 toyo sports usually have cracking exhausts and are at a great price as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjilovett Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just brought the decat from japspeed 149.99 with gaskets and next day delivery too mechanic will fit it tommorow for£30 and depending where the hole is on the cat/down pipe is I might Be able to weld it up at work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good stuff. And £30 to fit think that's another good bargain. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
