Does your de-cat make your car sound like a fart?

It will be louder with a decat, no if buts or maybes.

My old man has just removed the decat fromhis 160 BHP Metro as it sounded WANK without a cat, it sounded like a scally car.

Bwwwaaaaap, bwaaaarpppp, fart, fart.

Mine sounded awful when i first fit it, i then added a gasket and its made it sound a bit better... i think it might be leaking air at the sleeve between the decat and the middle box... ill check it 2mrw, just wanted to know if others were the same.

A decat should just make it louder/deeper. Its the rest of the exhaust makes it raspy for example

I'd say it depended on the backbox and silencers after the de-cat tbh, but removing the cat will indefinitely make your car louder.
