Default Decat Up Pipe

Hi i bought one decat up pipe 2" Diameter, is it too big?
My question is if with a little big up pipe will slow turbo spool, or give gains because i removed de cat?

slow spool down, get a 42mm sti or a classic up-pipe and do it properly as you will take it apart again when its no good

It would be much easier to answer your question if you told us what turbo you're running Nuno. If it's a TD04, yes, the 2" up-pipe is far too big. Any gain you make via the removal of the cat will probably be more than lost.

In which case you should email Andy if you want a definitive answer, but I'd strongly suspect that an up-pipe that big will do more harm than good.
