i would try it and see how you get on, a reflash it meant to totally transform the cars performance also

throttle response it meant to be much better, lower vtec and that horrible jerkiness at low speed goes too

Sorry to post on an old thread but thought I'd share my experience and why you shouldn't just put a cheap Cat on your car.
I had my cat stolen about 6months ago, ended up having to rush a replacement on because my insurance company dragged their feet, decided to write my car off on the Friday when I had to hand my courtesy car back on the Monday, so had to rush my repair at a general garage. The whole exhaust cost near on £800, the cat itself was about £70. Also had to shell out on 2 new lambda sensors.
Since then my MPGs have dropped from around 42 mpg to 22 mpg, and I've lost a few horses. I haven't had a remap however, so don't know if this would be necessary.
If anyone has a recommendation would love to hear it. I was considering taking it to an exhaust specialist and see what they recommend, hopefully just a bigger Cat (I don't mind throwing £2-300 at it) if it means getting the mpgs back up to around 40.
