i'm having a custom cat pipe made up on saturday with another silencer in it.
1.6 was too loud with cat and two silencers, so hopefully the extra silencer may quieten mine down a little.

cant get a de-cat unless u achnge the manifold on the c!
However you can replace the centre silencer which makes it much louder and maybe release 1 or bhp on a 1.2

you will have to get a custom made manifold as the cat on a corsa c is part of the manifold.the £50 is normally for a straight through pipe just to make it louder
