        PLEASE replace it ~ they are not all that expensive ~ here is the
link to the one that I have been

running for the past 5yrs & 62,000mis ( 2yrs8mos/26Kmis+H2OBxr &
2yrs4mos/36Kmis+EJ25 )

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-22918/

        According to my EJ25s ECU it is working great. It is an "ExactFit"
cat' & according to the folks @

MagnoFlow should out perform your OE cat'. Combined with S&S Headers,
a TwisterMuffler & 235/75r15

rear tires it was making it possible for my 90Westys H2OBxr to get
20mpg while cruising along @ 70mph.
