What's the bhp/torque difference from a sports cat over a decat I could possibly get a friendly mot but what if I was stopped by vosa with a decat is it worth it?

decat.. cheaper, sounds better.. vosa stopping you is unlikely.. especially with the tfsi being able to keep half quiet off boost with a decat

any performance difference between the 2 will be unnoticable

56OctyVRS:
Although with a decat you wont be able to get insurance for the road. Id go 200 cel and stay legal. May cost more but it costs less than being prosecuted or having your car seized for no insurance. Even though you may have insurance on the car, you are not insured to drive the vehicle with out a cat fitted, so it voids the insurance.

Markyed30:
Iv been void before and lost out on 5k so I know which route I'll take, Didn't know it would void insurance but then again if it would fail an mot it's not road worthy

Pikey Motorsports:
declare ur exhaust as a full performance exhaust.. they dont ask any questions about what cell your cat is etc or anything about the system atall other then possibly bhp increase.. if your car has mot then they cannot void it they also wont be able to prove it wouldnt be ok as they dont know that it would fail an emissions test.. and your car will be down on there records as having a performance exhaust

but its down to you of course

if your still worried mention decat to your insurance company some will be ok with it

or have a dummy cat made  :happy2:

or just get a sports cat if your worried and not bothered about noise
