   iv got a magnex decat pipe and iv got, a standard vtr manifold, decat pipe, standard centre pipe/silencer and magnex back box! you can really feel the difference, noise and preformance wise,, and i would do it if i was you. It cost me 60 quid and fitting it was really easy, took about an hour, including jacking the car up and 2 drinks brakes
   
   but having a full system is going to be better, but im happy with what i have for now

   I would say it is worth getting a centre section as it will be better. I'm looking at the remus centre sections but not too sure yet. Reading threads about dcats, I think it might be down to opinion. Some people think it is not worth it and is too much hassle, where as somepeople like them. Go for it and find out but I personally would get the exhaust system over the dcat but that is me. As to gains you will probably feel a better response but nothing majour.

   I've got a full de-cat system and BMC induction kit on my VTS and when put on the rollers, it came out at 126.7bhp so not too bad of an increase. Definitely a lot more responsive and the popping is great. Just remember to keep your cat for when your car goes in for an MOT.

   you will gain a litter performance and better throttle respone, also if you get a ss decat and center section it will last longer then the standard on or a steel one

   My de-cat made my car rev alot more freely than before.
   Get a Supersprint or a Remus racing centre section.
   That will sound very nice.
