hey guys,
if you lot dont know already, mines a non turbo, so the downpipe i have is different to you turbo guys i think?? but anyway discovered i've got a small crack in my downpipe (white patchy area in pic).

question is.... this part is it easy to source and replace? at the moment, its welded back and is doing the job fine, but i'd like to replace it if possible.

secondly, is the yellow part i highlighted the catalyst converter? so if i replace the 2-1 y shaped pipe i will need to get rid of it?? as i cant really tell if its connected as one whole piece.

is fully decatting the car meaning, starting from that 2-1 (y) downpipe straight through to the back?

sorry if it sounds like a silly question
thanks

Give Mr.Wilson a shout. He's very good with this stuff. Maybe even get Paul W to take a look at it.

Best fix is to replace the first cat with my stainless steel N/A first cat removal pipe, maybe get rid of the second cat too. My first cat removal pipe has a stainless flexi section in it like the stock one, without that the pipes crack. The stock N/A first cats get mad hot and the flexi section is the first thing to usually go. In stock, e-mail me for a price if you like.
