Hi All,
I have a 2001 GDB Bug eye STi that I am recommissioning - I am looking for a full turbo back exhaust system but I want it to start with a sports cat. All of the systems that I see online are de-cat systems or a sports cat on its own, but no further components to match to complete the system. Does anyone know where I can buy a full system that includes a sports cat?
Many Thanks,
Darragh

Hard got now Darragh years back bought Full Cobra system but fit was bad so sent back then bought full Rcm system and that was faultless for nct each year after zero issues..since then looked into this again for current car..however gotta be careful as most UK s cars don't pass emmisions here as there test is less strict alot of UK s cats 100 cell from memory has to be 200 cell and up think oem system is 700

Some people say get Prodrive sports cat however that's a decent gamble as cats as old as the cars now...

Tried v band made up s cats no use so ran decat for a few years and went back to oem cats last year and mapped it for them...yes not as wild at top end and loose that lovley turbo spool sound but just can't be arsed with the hassle every year want to drive in to nct and out with pass..

Everyone is different tho best of luck with search.
 
Yeah, it's much of a muchness really.
I'm one of those Prodrive cat men.
If the OEM cats are good enough for yearly NCT 20 years later, I'd say the OEM option (Prodrive sports cat) would be the same.
You can get some 300cel cats... But can't think of anything off hand.
Might be worth having a check on rally sport direct or some other US sites

Hayward and Scott make a new sports cat still, but about 900 sterling
 
Not the same eoin 300 cell alot less than 700 cell in terms of trying to get the pass

factory cat safer bet.

900 st for new want ur head examined and the add says not for road use so cover themselves if fails fook that.

Emmisions only going to become a bigger issue going forward.

Shur ur Prodrive cat hasn't seen a heat cycle in ages prob mushrooms growing outta it 🤣🤣🤣
 
This is the one I was looking at, but based on what you have told me probably no use to get through NCT.

Unlikely just baised on size of cat & price

Should state how many cell it is

Either decat and swap in oem cat each year or oem cat and drive it on my 2 cents

Spend money on tires pads map ect
 
My 2 cents: get a decat downpipe (RCM) and get an exhaust shop to add in a proper sports cat to it on the downpipe. Works out cheaper and will pass nct etc. A sports cat will lose 15-20bhp at the top end and about 500 rev in spool give or take on a 500+ bhp car. Been through all sorts of configurations over the years and that was the findings at the time. Day to day driving you would be hard pressed to notice it. On track, you definitely will feel it though.

Miltek and RCM cat back exhaust then after for a solid setup and nice rumble without being ott. Ali Burrows up north can order anything from the RCM catalogue and ship it down south without added taxes and stuff.
