you really need to fit a decat downpipe to notice a big difference,as i would say the exhaust gases are coming from the turbo,hitting the big downpipe cat and then in to your free flow exhaust,so you need to eliminate the restriction(downpipe)..well thats my pennys worth...

18 bhp? Not sure where you got that one, but about 5 would be more realistic, and therefore hardly noticable.

The downpipe and full decat / backbox can give up to 30 ish bhp.

get a downpipe and a ecutek and you will tell the difference
