   Got a 1.4i Westie , Got a Can on the back one of them universal ones, decat pipe , std manifold and a universal induction kit.
   
   My car since putting the back box and de-cat back on seems very slower. My de-cat pipe is thiner than the rest of my exhaust what could be causing the crap excelleration.
   
   Thanks

   might be a combination of the decat been thinner than the rest and if you got a open induction it will be sucking more hot air in which isnt good for performance.
   
   depends how much thinner the pipe is really dont think it would slow your car down unless it was alot thinner which would restrict your car exhaust gases flowing.

   What´s your backbox? I think the problem might be there, the thickness of the metal is not causing it I guess
