If you can get round the MOT / insurance issues then go for it. Even on the R-Tech performance website they suggest using one of these eBay downpipe & decats for cheap performance  :happy2:

I have a downpipe & sports cat with OEM cat back, and the sound is great - I even get a few pops! Decat will be slightly louder, but shouldn't be deafening or drone

Noise level is perfect for most with a milltek not to loud but loud enough for most when on it

When you get your cat back fitted friday infinity will make you a down pipe and decat if they got the time, there work is very good mandrel bends and tig welded with lifetime warranty! There prices are good but will probaly be more expensive then the one on ebay
