Afternoon all,

Hope everyone is well and managing at least some roof down miles.

It seems one of my Flexi pipes has given up, the mesh looks fine but it sounds like it's blowing.

An easy option looks like a cats2u replacement, but I notice their website seems to make a distinction between FL and PFL. Were there changes to the cat at some point, possible an emissions driven thing?

Edit: to clarify, the cheapest option is listed 1999-2001, whereas the more expensive "type approved" version seems to span the full life up to 2007.
2004 Silver. Stock(ish).

As far as I am aware, the Cats2U is a fit's-all job.  For the slight difference in price, you might want the certificated one.  I think the extra dosh just covers the certification, rather than any real difference in the item.
