Re: De-catting

Some cars react well to de-catting and some do not. I'm not entirely sure for your application. Either way for a road car the gain/loss is going to be pretty negligible (Say 2-5 bhp either way and not a massive peak or trough in torque).

For a race application it would be removed anyway as their are other factors to consider, and if a loss was made, it could be compensated with improvments to the rest of the system.

Don't expect your car to be transformed or ruined following this procedure, the effects are probably going to be incredibly minor. You may gain a touch extra noise, i'm not sure, i'v only got experience of a standard system being switched for a complete front to back race jobby so the difference was stark.
