I fitted a Magnex 'straight through' decat between my standard downpipe and Scoobysport rear box on my MY97 and was very pleased with the results. It gave the car a much harder edged roar at higher RPMs, and seemed to allow it to pull a lot more freely, and smoothly towards the red line.

In car noise wasn't increased significantly which was a bonus.

The pipe was a bit fiddly to fit as the downpipe to centre section spring bolts could do with being a bit longer, and I needed to compress the springs a bit to get the nuts on.

I bought the pipe for about £70 from ABP Motorsport back in 2000.

Graham,

I've just recently had a 3" de-cat centre section and 5" tailbox outlet fitted to my MY99. I've got a K&N57i air-filter too.

When it went on the rollers at Powerstation a couple of weeks ago, it got 236bhp and 215lbs/ft. Up 18bhp on standard.

Mine is LOUD, with a capital L O U D !!!!

Cheers,
Squizz.

I also fitted a K&N 57i at the same time, and recorded 253 bhp on Well Lane's rollers. A MY99 Prodrive PP'ed car recorded 256 bhp on the same day.
