sports cat is less hassle come MOT time, turbo will spool up quicker with both and should get a good few extra HP even more so after a remap.

Personally I'd go sport cat route I've got 3"APR d/p with so with sport cat. Decat cheapest way , know where you ate when cat fitted to car no messing on mot later date. That doesn't bother me as do my own mot so not going to fail.  :grin:
