cheapest way is to buy a full decat exhaust..panel filter and have it remapped.. round about £900 ish... maybe abit cheaper.
should see 280bhp maybe

yeh tahts best way mate, new panel, full decat and remap... you MIGHT want to spend an extra few quid and uprate the fuel pump while your at it? the most expensive part of it is the remap so if ur running a bit skint just fully decat and panel filter it (Green is probably the best panel filter if u want to stick with OEM filter box...) or get a cold-air induction kit....

just remember tho.....if you decat and get a roadside emmissions check... *gulp* lol, might be worth getting the up pipe cat (2nd cat on the newage) removed and put a sports cat in, but they cost more than a decat and might not get to 280..... just a thought

personally i wouldnt decat if your not going to remap, especially if you decat the up pipe aswell.. without a remap you will probably experience over boost..and your fueling will be all over the place.. plus you wont get the full potential out of your car without remapping.
fitting a induction kit definatly requires mapping

hahaha, my poor CC gets a bashing!!! if your not confident doing stuff yourself, and tbf, fitting a decat is a bit tricky without high rise jacks.... ur not far from ScoobyClinic mate, and ScoobyWorld.... give um a ring n see what they say.... tbf, you see ALOT of scoobs with scoobyclinic decals on the stickers so they must be doing something right :-)
