    Metallic is more durable for impacts and resists rich mix and gas better.

                This looks like a metallic cat, and 100 cell would flow very well.

                I think I had to order one my self also...

                  Metallic all the way.

                      Bought in the UK David, though ultimately I don't know where they were manufactured....................***** Wonkas' Chocolate Factory probably .
                      They did have a warranty, but I couldn't claim as I had to empty the cinders out of both to get the car away from the garage were we diagnosed why she had zero boost.

                            One question: Our cats are of 400 or of 200 parts?

                            100 part are not too fews to pass the MOT?

                              no idea what the S2 ones are, would be a good bit of info to know. I think if you're on an early BET test only then the 100 I was told should be enough on a well looked after and serviced engine, especially if its nice and hot etc.
