Also i want to know the gains that i can get from the decat, i have an inlet and bmc cda atm??

It made mine slightly louder when giving it some throttle, but when crusing no difference at all!

My friend drives an older Honda civic that had a decat fitted. It made it a tiny tiny (and i mean tiny) bit louder under throttle and changed the note very slightly too (for the better). But to be honest, if you hadnt of heard it before and after you wouldnt have been able to tell the difference at all.
I dont see why a corsa should fair any different really.

For those that heard my mine, it was the cat being removed and a stupidly small back box that made it loud.
With cat and a decent size backbox but no middle box it just purred like a kitten.
