Quick question.

Why?

Even on the GTI a decat doesn't improve power or anything.

Then there's the MOT requirements etc etc

Cat does minimal silencing.

Get rid of the mid box instead. Theres a silencer just after the cat you could remove.

I don't know why though, I had a 1.4 with a SS backbox on with the cat and mid box and that was unbelievably loud, let alone with no other silencers.

If you seriously want a decat, I would suggest a powerflow or longlife custom job to get exactly what you want.

Mine was fairly loud with a backbox on it.

Then I stripped it from the manifold straight to a universal backbox and screw me that was LOUD. Sounded a bit 1l Corsa though but down hills it used to scare people on the overrun, POP POP BANG and flames coming out.  :laugh:

Got a Powerflow VR6 system on it and it sounds nice.  :smiley:

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.
