What type of gain should I get from fitting a Magnex Centre decat pipe with resonator. I already have a SS back box with ITG which achived 234 BHP at PE. Will the centre decat make much difference?

It won't make much BHP / Torque difference (maybe 10%) but it will make the car more 'driveable'.

Meaning it will rev easier, giving the impression that you have gained more BHP and Torque than you actually have.

Defineatly(sp?) worth doing though. Boost will come in a little earlier as well.

Biggest difference would be a Downpipe change.

10% for the centre section that would be 20 horses

Probably about 5 bhp is realistic.

Sorry for the confusion,

I meant 10% increase for all the modifications put together.

Cheers

Cool

I put a Magnitech (is that the spelling) decat centre section on my car and I didn't notice any difference in power or driveability!! Noise levels were near enough the same, with a Scoobyports DP and BB already fitted. Waste of time IMHO. The Downpipe however, is a different story
