Default Lookin for Exhaust

Afternoon Guys i am in the market for a decent exhaust system.
What i need to know is what are the real benefits of taking the cats out
I also have plans to change the manifold is the cost justifiable?

Is it worth getting her set up on rolling road when this is done or will ecu deal with it?


Looking at the ninja or afterburner system any advice or thoughts greatfully recieved.

Once you see the cats off you will realise the restrictive nature of them. Especially the downpipe one.

With the cats in it’s a bit like running up a flight of stairs with a full Burgan on but with a finger up each nostril and a hand over your mouth.

cheers for the input guys looking at the vortex myself, the manifold offer at scoobyworld is quite tempting though, think it will be a basic full swap to start off with though both cats out.

Hi Guys!

I`m thinking of doing the same `full decat`, but will we need to do a remap?

If no remap is done will it damage any part of the engine etc...?

any mods that mean the car breathing more freely than when it left the factory, in any way at all for engine longevity and relliability,you should be thinking about a remap and maybee uprated fuel pump,depending on model.
