There are some graphs in my project thread showing the difference between the standard cat and the decat  :nerd:

Any ideas on years, ages or anything that might be a factor to that?
To be honest the gains are good enough to go for one, just need to find a cheap one or a second hand one :)

Not really sure why Adam's doesn't owl  :undecided:  Think his is an 03 plate, mine was a 51 and Steve's was a 52 plate.

Mind you since my turbo was replaced it didn't owl either  :sad:

THS provide adaptor sleeves so ideal if you're fitting it to the standard exhaust.

Milltek you'll have to buy one separately from Jetex
