Is the downpipe a twin dump, split open neck, or open neck? As a general rule of thumb, a de-cat downpipe will give you a percentage increase of power and torque, rather than a pre-set figure, dependent upon the other modifications to your car. If your car was standard before, you won't notice as much of an increase in performance as someone with say de-cat centre, better back box, increased boost, etc.

What you should definitely notice though, is a quicker spool of your turbo, as the reduced restriction allows the exhaust gases to flow better.

Chris you stoopid Greeko,

*No.1, you have a de-cat centre and power flow back box, not a de-cat down pipe yet, hence the question, and.......

*No.2, wots that smiley face doing at the end of your post?
