They can certainly make a difference, and they are a better bet than the stock cat. The nett effect is better flow, lower exhaust gas temps, and generally easier to get the puff out of it!

Sports cat on the 2.5 works almost as good as a decat as most of the remap is trying to stop it boosting to the level it wants anyway. Should do well
