There is a twin pipe from the manifold to the cat with the words Mex 1300 written on it. The cat is in a mild steel case. The silencer is stainless and exhausts out of the passenger side in front of the rear wheel. The silencer seems to be a retro fit but any views on the twin pipe from the manifold would be gratefully received.

HOWEVER my real question is where to get a new cat. A major Morgan supplier has them for well over £800 inc vat. However another site (http://www.cats2u.co.uk/35850/Catalytic-Converter/MORGAN/4/4/1.8) charges £143. In the latter case one of the cat connections is different from the unit fitted to my car. Anyone have any experience of cat suppliers they can recommend.

Many thanks.



The link you posted was where i bought mine from and BM90963 fits T16 and Plus 8 3.9 also.
I refused to pay £600 (as it was then) even if it doesn't last as long the price difference is daft.

Its got to be cheaper to amend the pipework. Try Harpers, there may be a link pipe involved?
