De-cat vs sports cat

[Toms_clio]

For a Yozz'ed Clio 182
What would you have and why?
I currently have a silenced de-cat but the baffles have fallen apart and need a new one so need help deciding
Thanks

Decat because it sounds amazing. Yes with a decat they are quite loud but perfectly fine. I use my car everyday and travel about 300 miles a week.

Decat because it's cheaper and the standard 182 cat is said to be pretty good so you'd be wasting money on a sports cat.

Had decat on my yozza for 8 months or so and yes it does sound awesome but will drive you and everyone else crazy in the end,there is quite a difference between a ome cat and a sports cat,the sport cat gives much better flow to the om cat due to it being a third of the size inside.I have a sports cat now and the car is still loud(96db)but not silly and sounds even better.

Do you still get a slight whistle from the cat when accelerating though?

I might be wrong but i thought the standard 182 was already a 200 cell sports cat that uses a metallic substrate? I can understand getting to an aftermarket sports cat if it's cheaper than the renault one but not if the renault one was fine.

Don't want to upset anyone just wanted to check if this was the case. Mainly for future reference as my car is staying standard.

No whistle mate,that will be down to a fooked cat fitting kit if it whistles.

Yes they are 200 cell mate but the standard cat is 3 times longer inside,there is only about 8"s of cells in the sports cat.

My cat fitting was absolutely fine but it whistled bad enough for me to put a silenced decat in.

I am quite fussy though

Yeah a new one from Renault is £2000 apparently

Decat over any cat ... all day

Decat.

If you were to get a sportscat, does anyone know of any brands that are compatible with the yozza? Any HP gain over the stock cat do you think?

I find it a bit of a pain in the ass to change it over each year. 182 cat is only a 100 cell cat anyway.
