Hawkeye 2.5 2007 Catalytic Converter

[Siluro]

Hi,

I am looking for anyone that can fabricate the catalytic convertors. Subaru have quoted me £1700 for a new one and it is special order and could take 2 months to be delivered. I currently have Cobra Sports cat on it and it has failed the emissions test. Not that keen on 2nd hand ones that are 17 years old, if I could find one.

Anyone know of a place that could fabricate one for me or add a cat to my cobra?

Thanks

Hey man, sorry to hear it’s failed on emissions. This could be a pointless reply but any chance they didn’t get the CAT hot enough before testing… ie cold test? The sport CATs only really work when at optimal temperatures to help reach the levels needed. Otherwise I’d recommend bolting the original catted down pipe for MOT (;

I had a cobra Sport cat fitted last year as the original cats rotted, i was told beyond repair. That past MOT 12 months ago. So probably stupidly I never thought to keep the old pipes.

No it was not hot. I tried to arrange that but some where between the receptionist and the tester that information did not get relayed. I took it in after a good thrash expecting them to do the emissions test fairly quickly but he took  50 mins while it idled. I been told what have said and you another that has confirmed it. I will try and get it organised better and see if it passes as I have till this monday, it is a daily driver and only car. I kinda annoyed they did not listen or think about what I was actually asking.

Out of interest I got a quote from Subaru for the cat sections and they want £1700 and it special order, none in the country. The guy said the same get it hot.

Will the 2.0 litre WRX version fit 2.5, anyone know?
