Not that I've done it but you could always just leave the standard cats on for mot then whip them off and put some decats on. quick 15 min job ;)

Nice man.

My art pipes failed emission but never really gave it a long run before hand though but I have a feeling they would pass as I hardly smell anything in the cabin haha were as decatted could taste the fuel when flooring it.

Could you taste it when starting the car cold too? Just wondering if this is normal decatted. :shrug: I have Art Decat/Test pipes and MXP Cat Back Exhaust.

I see you had your measurement done on a MAHA LPS300 too, could you please post, or send me a full dyno sheet? :) Many thanks!

[/quote]Yes , just out of interest really but not sure of its accuracy as wheel power was down a fair bit and looking at the hp it seems, especially to some that it was a bit high...so a little confusing really. Im getting uprev soon so will post before and after as and when!although the car feels great especially with motordyne hfc y pipe now fitted. this is all i had. Did you have an opinion on this dyno or what was your experience?

I just had mine dynoed, I have a 2006 Revup, the only mods done are nonresonated decats, Y pipe and a Cobra resonated exhaust, everything else is bone stock, with ~45k miles on the clock atm.

[/quote]So something isnt right here, You seem to have a lot of drag and wheel power looks lower than it should be...like mine.
I'll post my next dyno results and see what it reads. There are quite a few interesting posts on this thread so make of it what you will.
But it does seem that dynos are pretty misleading and as a few have rightly said, the best way of reading a dyno is the before and after.
Then you know what gains you are getting. And im sure that if you were to put it on another dyno youd get a different reading depending on tyre pressures, climate etc etc
