Re:
This is not limited to the 2006 model, as every single car with a ceramic based cat. converter runs the risk of having this cat. converter flaking when under extreme load and heat. Having said that, there has only been a few cases of damaged cat. converter which resulted in severe engine damage. If you can't afford a full exhaust system replacement (including replacing the cat. converter of which you have 2 in the 2006 model), there is nothing else you can do, as replacing the full exhaust is the only real solution for definite peace of mind.

Re:
Yours could have been manufactured in 2005 and plated as 2006, in which case you would have one. But it is easy to identify the second cat. converter by looking under the car, the second cat. converter would be under the driver's side and it would look like this:

Thanks ill check it out.
Anyone know any good places in Geelong or Melbourne to get the Cat system fixed/upgraded.
I don't think you understood what I said to you in my first reply.
The only way to change and/or upgrade the cat. converter is to replace the Full exhaust system and since you mentioned that you are on a tight budget and can't aford to have this done, just drive with what you have, as there is no cheap option to upgrade the full exhaust and it would be a complete waste of money if you are only doing it to get rid of the cat. converter anyway.
Your car lasted 160,000kms trouble free, so if you are not pushing it hard, it should be fine for many years to come.

Re:
Sorry then, I must have misunderstood what you meant.
Plenty of information is available in the exhaust upgrades section on the available options to you to upgrade, so yell-out if you need further assistance.
