If you only remove the 3rd CAT you'll be fine. Make sure you get a third CAT pipe with the threaded bung for the O2 sensor. Mine will be up for sale in about 8 weeks time when I fit the sports CAT.

No, leave it in, like I said just make sure the decat has a threaded bung to fit the sensor in. The one I have does as will any from a reputable seller

Ok, thanks.
I just opened the third cat, removed all restrictions, and close it again!
Now i´m ready to put it on back, i just was afraid of cel light.
But like you said will be ok.

One more thing did you get any gain or just more noise?

Mine was fine, I have a seperate problem with the front sensor being faulty, but that will wait until my ported headers are fitted in a few weeks time
