Default How can i fit a CAT to my twisted/rotated turbo for MOT?

I bought a 99 Impreza Turbo 2000 with a sti engine with a twisted turbo and straight through 3" system. Now the MOT has run out I need to fit a cat somehow but I don't think there are any CATs out there that will fit. Does anyone have a similar setup who can help???

I believe as you say their is no cat in a twisted setup for the Impreza.

you could buy a Sport's cat have it cut out and welded into your twisted pipe.. but say bye bye to some of ur power.

or you could have them remove a section add some flanges & add some flanges to the sports cat too, so you can add the cat for the MOT and swap it for the section they removed afterwards, store the cat for next MOT.

Iit helps to know a friendly MOT Tester.

You could buy a universal cat and a second hand centre pipe. Cut and weld the Cat into place on the centre pipe and just fit that for your MOT.
