Title: decat pipe
Post by: ian24driver on 07 June 2009, 13:13

i have a Scorpion system from the cat back which sounds nice as it is, if i fit a decat pipe will this make it sound roar and improve accleration?

Someone mentioned a sports cat but dont know much about these, would prefer to take it out completely if its worth it.
MOT isn't a problem!

It will be louder for sure! It will improve throttle repsonse too! You will notice a difference but I doubt it will be huge! Hi flow sports cats are more convienient cos they will pass an MOT, but they are expensive!
