Slow down, you haven't even got the car yet!

Don't try and do it all at once, let it evolve.

yes they do

a full exhaust and a decent airfilter setup and it frees up about 10-20 bhp

A decat is a must on a 180 along with a full ss sytem and good air filter set will see 200bhp and a far bit more torque still miss my 180 but js cost me to much to run

An induction kit, caf, free flow exhaust and decat can give a figure of approximately 190-192bhp. 200 is not achievable without either adding manifolds or a remap. Both the latter together may give another 2-4bhp but alot depends on the engines condition and fuel used.

I can see what you mean, but the only reason being is that I'm swapping the exhaust from my 120, so I'd like to have the decat and my 120 exhaust fitted at the same time, makes sense, so I gathered I'd start looking now.

It will be an evolving project, I plan to get a decent induction kit depending on summer winnings at work, lowering springs, a remap, tints.... the list goes on. But right now I want to celebrate that exhaust note.

i had a decat on my old zs, was a good buy imo, my second zs has manifolds instead
