Hi,

I remember reading recently that a newage WRX with decat centre section gains more MPG than with fully cat'd original! - can anyone confirm this with rough figures ?

edited because the original post didn't make sense..doh!

Cheers

Chris

That's spooky,was in here to post the same.
Only I'm getting much lower MPG now. 170 miles per tank as opposed to 200 before the de-cat downpipe was fitted.
Is there a better explanation for this apart from me trying to make the car "sing" with my right foot?

Well for me . . .

Setup - ScoobySport full system/downpipe/up-pipe

Track around 120 miles on 100 RON and general driving 250 to a tank.

Cool

My MY01 was more thirsty standard than it is now I've modified it

Standard figures were

Normal driving = approx 210 miles per tank
Sporty driving = approx 170 miles per tank

Now i've fitted PPP, Decat, Forge VTA, ITG, HKS AFR

Normal driving = approx 250 miles per tank
Sporty driving = approx 200 miles per tank

Nathan..
