Type Approved Cats from March '01

Been reading about replacing the front pipe on the Vec B.
Has everyone (with an '01-on car) used a 'type approved cat' on their cars or not?

What's the real world difference and potential for problems?

They do say that the 'universal' sports cats are illegal on post March '01 cars.. not for road use, stamped as such, blah blah blah..

While I get the necessary to have the front pipe (and manifold) made, I was going to buy a standard front pipe/cat.. about £70, with fitting kit.. do me for a year.
But the type approved are over a ton and I'm a bit too much of a skinflint to go there unless I have to.

We're going to a garage tomorrow, see if they'll put the car on the ramp and tell us where it' blowing.. they might be able to do a £20 fix (in my dreams I suspect)
