forgot to mention that Fiat said they could supply a Manicat..............for £1276Where are you based? I know a good exhaust specialist near Stafford and another in Devon who can make up a link pipe. None in-between unfortunately.
Can you cut the pipe under the car, move the front part to the catalyst outlet and joint with flex joint? Then fill in the gap with a straight pipe and exhaust clamps? Or even cut the front end out and fit a longer straight pipe.
