i got a decat made acouple of months back and it was £50, petrol consumption is the same as when my car was totally standard and it is smoother but a de-cat on its own will not give you power, 2-3bhp at the most | |

More cold air give you more power. Making it easier for the air to get in increases performance as does allowing gases to exit easier. | |

it involves chopping the cat out and replacing with a straight through pipe. | |

I wouln't say there was much difference in fuel consumption when i had a de-cat. De-cats cost different prices from different places and it will depend on whether you do the work yourself or take it to a garage. | |

i found it pulled a little smoother, but seemed to run richer and smell of petrol, however it sounded too loud and "chavy" and i had alot of neighbours compain about me!! oops! So decided on a sports cat! | |

and do you notice a big difference in fuel consumption. How much does it cost to de cat | |

Reduces the restriction on the escape of the exhaust gases so yes improves performance. You can replace the cat with a de-cat pipe, or hollow out the material inside the cat and weld it back up. | |
