Hi guys the next wee gremlin has appeared with my car.
The cat flange is rusted out where is best place to get replacement cat.

You can get non original cats from eBay for about £80 or if you don't mind the noise and have a friendly local MOT centre you could get a decat pipe for cheap

Are the cheap ones off ebay sport cats like the original im no wanting to strangle the engine?

 

[RIC172]

The ones on eBay will work fine and won't strangle the engine, however if you want a more free flowing sports cat you can buy them from places like ktec's for around £300. If you want the least restriction you'll be wanting a decat pipe though, which are very cheap. They are a lot noisier though!

Custom exhaust place.

Get them to cut the old flange off both your exhaust and the cat and make a new joint. Easy.
