decat question

[Jackwoody]

will just decating my standered exhaust make much difference to sound? anyone got any vids?

It'll make a lot off difference in terms of noise , but honestly itll beat the S#'t out your standard exhaust , im sure people have done it but personally wouldnt bother id spend your money on a quality stainless exhaust first then a de-cat mate

just dont like the idea of having to sell the car with an aftermarket exhuast

Keep the standard system, and swap over when you sell?

Hhmm i see your point but to be fair 90% of Cliosports have had them changed , and the standard system is so expensive most have aftermarket systems on!
Plus whoever you sell it too is buying a Cliosport at the end of the day, they arent after a diesel van so any exhaust upgrades should be favoured !!
But if you do decided you couls always ask to save the old unit and put it on when you sell it, i know its time consuming to not cut it off but its there mate !!

exactly! Mine is stood upright in the shed, was a struggle to get it off in one piece (most just cut it, I didn't). I wouldn't say I like the sound of the stainless system I have put (kept the cat in place, its not restrictive) but at least I know I can always put the standard one back if I need to.

Put on what YOU want now and enjoy your car, I think if I ever sell mine then having two exhausts has go to be a good thing, no?

I used to run a decat on the standard system and it's a good bassy sound, measured 86dB at Cadwell park iirc!
