The decat would give more power. I did back to back dyno's with my Milltek system before and after the decat and it released another 4.5bhp by having no cat :happy2:

I gained 4.5lbft too, but the torque came in a little later. I can live with that with the amount I have (see sig!)

dont think about it as a loss of low down torque,

tat can be a positive thing, with a little less torque you can expect to have more traction  which can onlybe a good point.

The decatted 3 inch downpipes can be had for £170 or so brand new off of ebay, so I would say yours should be worth £120-£130 roughly.

How come you took it off chris, will it make any difference a stage 1 car? Does it change the exhaust note much?
