:)

I remember when you had nothing but a straight thru pipe all the way to rear lol i.e scaffolding pole haha that was loud :D
 
I also still have that system, can you imagine how loud it would be with the decat aswell...

Got a headache thinking about it..... going to have to stick with the quieter one as i have a 4wk old little girl in the back now....lol

there will defo be an increase in power.Ive read on the hgt's upto 3/4bhp can be gained..'aparantly'... Id say about an extra 2/3bhp.
 
I've got a powerflow cat back on mine and it's basically a pipe with the back box which I swear has had the baffles taken out. Very loud!
 
De-Cat arrived last night.... going to be fitting tomorrow will report back with any change in power.

Well, spent a little time on the car yesterday,

Got the full exhaust system and DeCAT on after having to grind the bolts from the CAT off... i need to upload a Video of the sound but its loud very loud, dont know if its a placebo affect or not but it does feel like there is more power or is it that it sounds like there is more power... lol

Anyways its WAY to loud so i need a more suttle back box\silencer than the SS Powerflow one it sounds like it has no baffles in it lol..
How would a stock exhaust work with a DeCat?? Just asking as i may consider putting this on until i can get a quieter exhaust...
 
it probably sounds faster than what it is lol...just like puttin a huge exhaust on a 1.2 and hearing it go past you,now that sounds faster than what it is haha..na only joking mate ;)

with the powerflow ,i thought it would sound ok,but then again you are taking out the cat out.Cant you get a silencer put in the system somewhere? rather than like you say,add the de-cat to the standard system.

How about getting a bung type thing from demontweeks that you can get for track days with sound limits? That's what I'm gonna do I think.
 
Found out why its so loud by the time i had driven it on Sunday and got to work and back Monday the back box had worked loose from the mid section how it never fell off is beyond me... need to have it welded on!

Only result at the moment is that on Sunday it did fell more responsive between 2000-3000 rpm as with the Bravo well mine anyway it didn't really pickup until 3000+ rpm obviously it would accelerate between 1000 - 3000 rpm but you can here and feel it more so after 3000+
