Decat has made NO difference

[J o n]

as above, had a play against Northy's beast last night and it seems slower if anything... especially from 4th gear at low revs, where before with the cat it was dead even this time Northy pulled a full car length and it just stayed there . one of you tech dudes can hopefully explain why this is the case, as surely it should be better now???

Have you looked to see if the decat is leaking from the joints?

Was close on both occasions pal...think you had the advantage last time...me this time.

Still buzzing on my 4th gear victory. :D

i would have thought that the top end would have improved while bottom end would deteriorate a little

Decat made a HUGE HUGE difference to 0002. Nothing to 0200. I dont know why.

Maybe the exhaust?

Maybe the cat was already ****ed on 0200 so it was already 'decated'

Maybe something else is restricting it

I have had my exhaust checked and it isnt leaking so im puzzled too.

after i took decat back off could instantly tell it lacked power from 4th gear on! same with on sunday night chasing steves FRS down motorway just lacked power at *10+

De-catting my valver was the best thing i ever did. Revs freely and pulls harder. Weird that some of you arn't getting any results

A mate of mine with a valver smashed up his old knackered cat and got the bits out, works just as well as any de-cat you can buy.
