   I get my cat-back 2mz. Is it going to make a difference to the cars performance or will i have to get the mainfold aswell?

   Hello mate
   
   Mostly sound tbh
   Manifold and de-cat together make the biggest and most noticeable difference to sound and performance
   
   Car will feel smoother and pull slightly better lower down

   When i put my ashley on i was very suprised! I could actually feel the difference!
   
   The power was so much smoother and it the tacho was flying in every gear, meaning quicker acceleration. So depending on what zorst youve got, then yes!

   Had offers flooding in over the last 6 months+ i've owned it but only really started to miss my old Cobra Imola's recently so im selling up for another set of buckets
   FCS and the Ring to think about aswell so it makes sense i guess...
   
   What cat-back combination are you going for anyways?
   Get a SuperSprint manifold and complete Race centre pipe inc. de-cat from here if you can...
   
   www.kam-racing.com
   
   Combine that with a decent back box and you'll love it
   Raceland is the cheaper option but dont sound as nice and the quality isnt as good but they are cheaper!
   
   You will notice the difference when the new system goes on.

   I went for a cat back sportex with a 3" box. Sounds nice and not loud loud. Can feel a pick up low down and high in the rev range. Had to beat seven shades out the heat shield under the car as the centre box was knocking but its all fine now. Still bedding in tho so still settling down.

   I fitted piper manifold which de-catted aswell coz its a mk2 and removed middle silencer sounds so nice when put my foot down and noticed the difference.
