well having straight through will be louder and more powerful. the cat is the most restrictive part of the system. im thinking of gettin a decat and catback for my fiesta :)


I might get a rover tuner to tune my gt40 turbo on my left testicle to run 400000 bhp lol

Increase the chances on failing MOT on emissions, depends on other parts of the system but thats it really. Louder the better imo! If it still sounds good :)

As hillman said, its the most restrictive part so will free up the air flow alot, would be the best gains you can get from modifying the air flow process.

DO IT!!!!!! im guessing yours is an mpi,in shich case if it is mapped you could make it quite a bit quicker,just watch out that it doesnt just run really rich as decats commonly do

TEAM-P FTW!!!!!

Do it, makes alot of difference when mapped, my mum did it on her old one (95) i think was just under 10 brake with a proper map, so boosted alot for a likkle engine. And will shoot flames alot, and pop and bang like a bitch! sounds great!

IF YOU CAN M.O.T. IT, IT'S NOT LOW ENOUGH!

i've done this on most cars which i've had, escort rs2000, fiat coupe 20vt and my current subaru. only one i had a problem with was the coupe. it needed the cat if still running a standard turbo due to back pressure. should be no trouble on your car though. i sure the cat restricts upto about 15% on a n/a car but more on a turbo. should sound alot more beefy too. :)
