Don't know if you'll see much. I made sure that I had "exaust modifications" put on to my policy, that way I then did a full decat which really did make a difference (about 30bhp with full decat and Scooby Sport box?) without worry. I paid about what you said.

I'm not sure whether there's a power gain but there is a performance gain. My car did feel more responsive mid-range with just a Magnex b/b on and both cats still in place.

I've had magnex cat back systems on my last two scoobys but need something that doesn't rattle my fillings, must be getting old! The point is don't want to pay for performance/power increase on my insurance if the only gain is a bit of noise!
