this car actually did have a straight pipe (cat delete) in a different jurisdiction prior to my ownership (original cat had rusted off - the oem cat's don't fail, they just rust up here, and then they are prohibitively expensive to replace, even before they became NLA)... in these parts though, any street legal car has to pass an emissions test. no cat = fail. This is a 2.0L NA - it is not seeing any track days! (ok actually it would be quite acceptable for ice racing, but whatever)...
So you run the bosal cat with no heat shield? if not, how did you avoid the rattles? that cat is so wide!
the original fiberglass mat had wicked water up over the exhaust tunnel and the entire tunnel inside was rusting. I was lucky to catch it before it became unsound. I POR'ed and glassed over it. Not sure the heat range for the fibreglass resin though. don't want to melt that either! that said, the fiberglass mat was in a plastic bag... kind of funny. probably easier to spec high temp wiring insulation than high temp plastic bag...
