it must make some gain. maybe slight but must make a difference. and sounds better.

Why must it?

If the cat isn't restrictive, removing it won't give a gain...will it?

If the Cat is good enough for a VR6 Corrado, do you expect it to restrict a 2.0 16v Golf?

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

I remember a rolling road session once on a VR6 and it was run with a decat to see what gains it would give, the answer in real terms was nothing.

well in that case the cat was not the bottleneck to power output. but if your going for big power then eventually it will have to be shown the door. and off course its 1 less thing to go wrong if it aint there.
