The Benefits of Decat?

There are no real benifits you will notice. Noise will be slightly more. Its illegal to run a decat, so if stopped can be looking at a fine etc. Sensors should be okay as only one before CAT.

Upto you at end of day, a bit of pipe and a sleeve will fo the same as a jetex decat, but Jetex is high qualaty.

MOTs will also be a pain as its a fail without a CAT

Most seem to agree that the cat on a mk3 isn't restrictive and so there's no good reason to remove it.

No benifits apart from louder noise.  Also will have to re fit CAT come Mot time.  Mk's do not have restricted CATS
