De-Cat 172 Cup Questions

[Fergie606]

So after some advice again, I have bought a sport cat (de-cat as there's nothing in it) and was going to fit this to my 172 cup with a standard exhausted fitted and standard engine.

1. Will I get an increase in power or will it just make more noise?

2. Can anyone recommend the best place to buy the cat to manifold gasket and fixing kit? Is is main dealer only??

3. Is it really worth the trouble or am I wasting my time?

I should say the car is used 90% track and the 10% is driving to the track and back.

Cheers for any advice.

I have a sports cat on mine and I had rolling roadbed and didn't make any difference to either torque or bhp so now I'm thinking of buying a decat pipe,besides the sports cat didn't go through emissions for mot I wouldn't mind some opinions myself

1) gains will be minimal, makes the car rev smoother and sound better.
2) I went to local exsaust place and ask to buy one and they just gave me it,
2.5 inch wires gasket, bolts and springs I needed.
3) that's up to you, I found it a worthwhile job.
