Default P1 downpipe

Hi all... been a bit busy since getting the car. 1 year and about 100 miles later I need to get some of the fixes done!

The downpipe is rusted badly and given I can't find an original P1 exhaust to replace the Blitz have bought a new Hayward & Scott. Finding a replacement downpipe with cat seems pretty tricky, any ideas or suggestions? Am wondering if there is a stock of them somewhere or if people have them in garages if upgraded for bigger builds...

Cheers,
Rob.

Was there anything special about the P1 downpipe or was it the same as any other classic with a cat? I still have mine but intending to hang on to it, can't believe there aren't people out there with them kicking around. Alternatively you could go with an aftermarket sports cat.

I would rather a cat just to try and at least have an original set up in there.
Noddy question here... What is the impact of a de cat downpipe? Much noise and or emissions issues?
Same with a sport cat really. Any brands you would recommend?

Appreciate the help!

no cat will mean no pass MOT wise..............

also you will find the std cat works quite well as a 'resonator' to suppress noise

apart from the v.early GC8's all of the cat d/pipes are basically the same with the Lambda boss in the neck after the turbo

Hayward and Scott do a high flow cat option in 2.5 or 3'', but I assume you want to keep it original?

Yes would like to keep it original or at least as original as I can. So does anyone know of any new old stock anywhere? Or is it second hand or aftermarket only?
