AE Wilcox had a load of them last year, but he was not then willing to sell them except as part of a complete system. He may have other thoughts on that now though. Worth a try on 01454294465 or 01454294213 ask for John Wilcox.
(Part numbers are Manual: WCD001791 & WCD001811, Auto: WCD001950 & WCD001960.)

Indeed John may be pleased to get some cash in after being closed due to Covid19. John's a great guy and always helpful when he can be. :)

Cats can be replaced, welding is needed and you could fit race cats to get less restriction. I know a Maserati owner who went this route as Maserati wanted an eye watering amount for a pair of new ones and the cost was 10% of the cost of the genuine article including getting the welding done.

Call Nick, as I'm pretty sure he will have all the gaskets you need, not just those in the eBay shop at present.
