   to be honest you wont get much from it a de-cat just a quicker throttle responce and a few pops and bangs from the exhaust.

   no because the oxygen sensor is in the downpipe not in the de cat pipe it will fail the mot though so will need to be changed back and the backfire pops and bangs will eventually fuck the exhaust internals up.
