Default MY06 Hawkeye Decat install

Just had my 3" bore Magnex exhaust delivered with de-cat, if I fit this before a remap and drive it for a while will it cause problems at all?

Thanks

just drive it off boost and it will be ok.

what i did was put a small vac pipe from nipple on turbo compressor housing directly to wastegate actuator so max boost was 0.7 bar.

It will be fine as long as you keep it off boost.
