I had a de-cat on my old ZR, also all janspeed from the manifold back, and it totally transformed the car. Sounded better, went better and actually used less fuel lol

I found it made the car much louder when you booted it - and it was a crazy aggressive sounding loud - but made it much quieter on the motorway and about town.

Makes the cruising note more livable I think. I drove it for 2 years with the de-cat and the trip down to Manchester with the standard cat back in almost drove me mad with the noise it was making (KevG can vouch for that, as he was with me!) It really was an awful drone after the crisp noise it had been making

Frees up a few extra BHP too
