There's little point. As long as you have the secondary cats you dont need any cats at all in the downpipes. Mine passes the MOT fine without.

Can I ask why?

I think you will have to import some from the US. They retail at about $1200 + VAT, Duty and shipping. I'd guess $1500 all in.

I want to keep a similar exhaust note, it probably sounds different with the primary cats removed.

These are probably what you're after:

To be honest, they are not only hugely expensive and inferior to fully catless downpipes but they are also likely to be a headache to fit to a RHD car.

Thanks, yes those look good. Shame they will not fit on our RHD.

Anyone know of some that will fit a UK car ?
