cinq or sie?? there are people that make the decat pipes but they go well with a 4-2-1 like on mine, on my supersprint for the cinq 1108 the manifold makes it easy to just fit a straight pipe which sleeves on to the origonal exhaust system, had mine made for 35 quid by hawleys. 
ow and dont forget that taking the cat away means your car will be elligal and wount pass MOT's, and the manifold was 230 ish just incase you wanted to no.
thanks 4 the reply mate. its cinq sporting. i just realy wanted the de cat at the mo. but wiil defenitly get the manifold in the fucher. so can i get a replacment 4 my cat.?
no probs, ye thats right if you bought the supersprint manifold it comes with an adaptor for the origonal cat, but it means cutting the cat right down, thats why its easy to just do away with the cat and put a straight pipe in its place that just sleeves over both sides
there might be some places that sell a decat pipe on its own though try ESP designs, demon tweaks or edworthys see what they have got

cheas mate.will have a look around. ps i seen that cinq 4 sale and was very temted but my other harlf gave me a dirty look. but very nice car mate.
its aslo worth nowing that the cinq spoting manifold is only very short (around 30cm is) and the cat/down pipe is long as it goes under the car, the supersprint manifold is very long and goes right up to where the begining of the cat used to be so the origonal down pipe with cat has to cut to make it fit and its a tight fit against the radiatot bracket which i had to modify! so a special made decat pipe would go right up to the bottom of the oe manifold. but the sound is extremly nice from the other end of the exhaust.
ive never driven a turbo wat they like?
fantastic, got loads of torque! and mines only the low boost kit on a 1242cc engine,got around 90-100bhp so it fly's so to speak
loads planned though already started buying and its turning out to be rather exspensive! thats anothe reason why i didnt bid. if you car was expensive to by them 9 times out if 10 the parts will be expensive
De-cat's aren't illegal providing your car can still meet the required emmision levels, my NA cinq has passed two MOT's now with no cat.
But.......... and if you'd use the search function you would have read this already. A decat does not give you masses of extra power and there are much better and more cost effective ways to get additional power
& BTW cento turbo ownership is very, very expensive

like wat? ive already got a chip and induction kit.
Presently it is not illeggal to take the cat away in the UK. It is illegal for all cars registered on 1. August 1996 to exceed the legal emmission limits. A number of cars do require this prior to 1996 (beginning August 1992) but the Cinquecento Sporting is excemptfrom it when registered before 1. August 1996.
However, it isn't easy to comply with the regulations without a cat.
never seen that before ive seen hundreds of cars MOT'd and if a cat is on its way out or dead so to speak then the cars CO goes sky high and fails misserably, wonder if my N/A cinq will pass because its not had an MOT since fitted,,,i hope so this will be great
also thats true in many cases a decat can give around 1bhp! but my exhaust pipes are only 1.75 inches thick so exhaust gass velocity is kept high

75 cam or others C&B etc, decent exhaust, decent plugs, decent ht's, 40mm TB, increase fuel pressure. & then before you go further uprated brakes, suspension, tyres, strut braces etc
Cento's are a package it's not all about BHP.
cheas mate.
very true
i fitted a cam,head ported and manifold to match with bigger valves, chip, manifold exhaust, decat and igntion upgrades to my N/A cinq, feels electric to drive with such a crisp throttle responce, got around the 70-75 bhp mark and thats enough for the car to be fun to drive
shame its off road at the moment

also i stand corrected about the decat being elligal
was thinking in terms of emmisions being very bad)you know if i done the cam and ht leeds n plugs will they fit onto the 1242 8v engine.
anyone know how much a polished roker would sell for on hear?
