182 exhaust (cat) replacement advice..

[Oggy997]

Ive got a crack in my 182's cat, bought a replacement cat from here so assume it's the correct one...

Sadly I cant fit it because the end is different to my aftermarket exhaust (ktec ultra supersports? @Feirny ?)

Now I think theyve welded a bit drom the cat to downpipe? Can anyone confirm? Will i need to replace the cat and get it desleeved or resleeved? or maybe better to just get another exhaust.

Any tips guys?

Seems it's the Mark Fish cat mod. A novel idea but a pita if your cat is cracked at the manifold end!

Yes that is the right cat, yours has been sleeved to fit a cat back exhaust.

Anyone with a welder can sleeve the cat. Just cut off the donut and weld the correct diameter pipe on.

This was my sleeved cat, cost me £15 to get welded and a few quid for the pipe. You can probably cut that pipe off the cracked cat and put it on the new one
