Genuine Catalytic Converter

At about £105 I expected it to come with a heatshield, but it didn't, and retro-fitting the suzuki heat shield wouldn't have been easy. It hasn't caused any management issues though.

Did you remove it or did the repairer do the teardown as well as the welding or was it done in situ??

Yes I removed the cat for the jimny and market the cat with a marker pen so the welder could line it up before i removed it.
