Finally decided to go for the sport powervalve turbo back decat system. Going to hunt down someone my way so i can have a listen to theirs when i can and then decide if i want a smaller silencer or not!

Anybody Derbyshire/Nottingham way with a powervalve system let me know!  :happy2:

If you are going decat, then the cheap eBay ones more than suffice. If going sport cat, I'd make sure I got a Powervalve. You'd want r-tech to do a specific stage 1 map with decat factored in too.  :happy2:

I'm not that far from Notts if you ever wanted to hear my setup, but probably someone local to you too.

If you have de-cat downpipe, will that definitely fail the MOT? Only thing putting me off having the de-cat downpipe.

I WANT LOUD NOISE AND FLAMES

Mmm I did think that but thought I'd be best buying new, how much are you looking for one off eBay?

Just ask around in your area and you'll soon find someone at a garage that will pass it! I don't get how they get away with it tbh because everyone in our area all go to the same garage so it's pretty obvious what they do but I'm not complaining!  :notworthy:

Also did you start off with a Powervalve system with a sports cat and a smaller silencer? It's so difficult when I've never heard one and I just can't make up my mind!  :grin:

If your going decate then definitely go for the Ebay ones. i picked mine up for just over 100. they usually vary from 120 upwards. well worth it

Yes. Had the Powervalve cat back then purchased a brand new eBay 3" decat downpipe and had that fitted. Don't use the POS gasket that comes with the eBay DP.

Thanks for that! Do you think having a smaller silencer makes a big difference and is it worth it ?
