Can anyone confirm the precise length of the 4.5 cats? - I've got some old 4.2 cats and pipe that I want to fabricate decat pipes from but I know the 4.5 cats I have fitted at the moment are a different length (shorter) than my knackered 4.2 ones.

Racetechdirect list the cats as 445mm long for a 4.2 and 410mm for the 4.5

Hope that's useful.

Just to confirm - the 4.5 cats are 410mm long. I've just taken mine off and fabbed up some straight pipes - fairly typically I've just run out of CO2 so can't weld them up fully until BOC open again.
