Nope,the old ph1 had no cat [lucky me] not too sure about the front flange connection seems to be blowing a bit .
pick up engine mounts tomorrow and new boot lock,taking car to mates garage next sat to fit mounts[up on ramp] might fit new down pipe[if i win] and mounts.
cant drive to much at moment cause engine is moving to much and i can here the strain on the downpipe moving the rest of the system. seems to run ok with the lambada disconected though.

Oh i've ordered some brembo"max" disc's and pads so they will be going on to,cant grummble at £28 per disc will post with pics next wk

theres still heatshielding around your CAT?

Leave it off.

Heatshielding on the shell is more than enough.
