Centre section is DE-CAT, although it looks loke it has a "cat" the one you can see is just a cover made to look like a "cat" . :wink:

If you de-cat you only need to Downpipe.

Doubt it would improve performance much if at all, but it would release a bit more 'burble' :wink:

Depending on the car, but 330-350bhp with torque the same mate.

Come to the RR on 24th March at WRC have a run there to see what she's producing at the moment :wink:

Speak to Allan and Chris there and they will put you right, they have done plenty of "1"s now :D
