I'm looking for a sports cat for an STI MY03 Impreza and I've been told this is off a STI 03 Reg

"The car was fitted with prodrive system and the seller states the cat is a prodrive sports cat and has the document with the car to say it had a prodrive pack fitted."

The owner has now fitted decat pipes and HKS exhaust hence the removal.

Now i've never seen a Prodrive Sports CAT so i've no idea if this is actually one or not? I did search forum but just found them listed for sale with no pictures.

Can anyone advise if it's a Prodrive Sports CAT or is it not possible to tell from that picture?

If it is, i'll go and collect it, otherwise i'd rather not travel 150+ miles.

I was also lead to believe not all cars got Prodrive Sports Cats? or I could be completely wrong, advice would be gratefully received.

 

I only bought the downpipe and it looks identical. I payed 180 pounds delivered.

 

Would there be any markings on it.

I take it if it's Prodrive it's definatly a Sports Cat

 

If he has the certificate and the downpipe looks identical to mine I think you'll be ok to safely assume it is a prodrive. All prodrive downpipes were fitted with 100cell sports cat. It does have a marking identification on mine. I can have a look tomorrow.

 

Ok thats great cheers! i'm sure when the rest of the forum wakes back up they might be able to shed some light.

Many thanks for your help so far! very much appriciated

 

yes it is mate.

 

looks about right
dnc

 

Yep, but it's the older version. The newer ones use an integral metal heat shield around the cat part rather than dirty rag that looks like it's just come from an Egyptian tomb.

 

looks like one to me.

yes you are correct not all got the sport cat,the sti's got sport cat and centre decat the wrx's only had centre decat and retained standard downpipe cat

 

That rag is falling apart ha.

I collected yesterday, both pipes cost me £75.

Just need to fit now and i'm having it mapped on Tuesday.
