I added the site for no other reason than to see if it was a bolt or not.
As long as the cat is E rated, which if being sold within the EU it must be. But what happens now..who knows now.
Look at a catguard?
Was trying to remember who the UK OE exhaust makers and suppliers are. Looks like only TMA are left.

Helpful link, if to just feel better about how much it could have cost!
The cat is made by BM I think. No idea who makes the other bit of exhaust tho.From the cat guards I’ve seen, it strikes me that it’ll just cause the thieves to create more damage in their efforts to try and get the parts.
That said. If it happens again, it’s getting straight piped!

Cheers, I’d already ordered all the main parts and they arrived today. Annoyingly I had to order fitting kits from elsewhere as the place I ordered from didn’t list them on their site. But they rang yesterday to say that they could supply the fitting kits as well. Hopefully the fitting kits are compatible.
Small bonus was they rang to say that they didn’t have the cat that I’d ordered but had a different one I’d been eyeing up for only a tenner more (but £30 less than I’d seen elsewhere). Minor victory.
NB, total cost for fitting kits, hangers, cat and middle pipe was about £270.
If we’d bought from Honda the parts would have been around £1400-1500.
And a local garage offered to source a cat for £450.
Hopefully the new cat won’t be a total shiter, but the car isn’t worth enough to justify chucking that much cash at it!
