should i get a decat or not?
got a 206 gti wanna get a full exhaust system with max performance but been told on 206 gti with a decat its mega loud and can attract unwanted attention.
what u guys reckon?

all i know is that a de-CAT system will fail an MOT, most importantly an emissions test.
so if the police have a temproary roadside emissions testing, then you'd be truly f'd.

Yup, if you want to be safe, get a sports cat, its a compromise between the two.

Sports cat's are pretty good man i had one fitted today in my powerflow system and definatly freed up the engine at high speeds i.e 90mph plus

livin in tehran i know that they dont do emissions test out here, so i was wonderin if i should take the cat off my 1.6. would it become faster with a full exhaust system? will i f**k up the engine in anyway? will the ecu need remappin or anythin?

it would become faster with a good exhaust system ie peco or summit im not impressed with powerflow at the moment to big a drop in back pressure and sounds like poo. Any car will become faster with the cat out cos it's less restricting but it will still be emission tested at the mot.

sorry forgot to say it wont damage the engine but u may drive it harder so that could and it's always better to get the ecu re-mapped if u can but for most of us on here we cant afford to keep doing that doh

mehran most of tehrans pollution comes from the paykans(the old ass hillman(sic?) that iran had been producing since the 60s). i dont think if i removed my cat i would be adding to the problem that much ;D .
anyways i wont be doin it til my warranty runs out (runs out at 30000km/1yr) and i am still stuck on km number 28. hehe
