corsa b 1.0 - catalytic convertor welded to front pipe exhaust - Fleabie36

i require a new front pipe with flexi for my exhaust, my friend had a look under my car and told me it's welded to the CAT. He told me if he removed the front pipe i would require a new CAT aswell, is this right? Is there no way of saving the CAT? Its going to cost me a fortune.

please any information would be good.

Without seeing it id say if it can be sleeved or welded to the new pipe i can't see a problem.

I know some do come with a cat in the front section and you buy the lot, if you can get sepperate then above may work.
