    The '09+ may only have one cat. I haven't done a downpipe install on one to confirm, but I believe they only have the one now.

    I'm pretty sure they are both on the downpipe. An aftermarket catted downpipe will replace both with 1 high flow converter.

    Look under you car.... It takes 25 seconds to look.

    I know for my car (03 WRX) there was a cat in the uppipe, downpipe, and midpipe. That being said, my car now only has one highflow cat in the midpipe.

    So the only disadvantage with a catless DP tuned with an AP is boost creep?
