Go for it mate they sound mint and you can feel the freeness/less restriction straight away. But it will make it v. Loud if you have a aftermarket back box. My de cat put around 10 bhp on my set up so can't see how they lower the power 2bf lol

Im with Lee on this one, I had a de-cat for my 180 and it sapped the torque from the engine....really not worth it save your money and buy a massive steak pie...in the long run you would be more happy with it.

read his project lol 
hes got a s**t load more air going in than anyone else so a decat is guaranteed to help flow in that situation.
cant see the benefit on a standard engine though without serious intake mods..

Exactly, pretty hard how to do a how as you have to know what you are doing. Or if you have a decat pipe ready to go on you could fit that. But it's a b*****d fitting into the centre pipe, as well as removing the old one + getting it to fit without gas leakage.
I have a de cat purely because my cat compltely broke and rattled with a fair while till the MOT and it was a lot cheaper / easier to fit and weld a pipe on and just fit a second hand cat for the MOT then change back again. |
what did it sound like when you de-catted it? |
It's deeper and a fair bit louder, I have a peco backbox and it was loud before, and now it's annoying loud. Also backfires quite a lot but it didn't with the standard backbox so it's probably a mix of the two.

Ive had mine on for around 5 years now, never failed the MOT
She is quiet and gains are good, compared to standard
But when you are concerned about back pressure, gimme a break its frigging 1.4

Decat is the way forward, I love the noise of mine now with it, it back fires, flames and sounds awesome, gives it a rawr. Ive noticed an increase in power... however it could be down to the manifold also.
Slip the MOT guy a tenner and im sure he will wheel in a nice 1.0 corsa for your emmisions tests
