    Default Decat or not Decat

    Hi there after a lot of reading of other posts on here i think i'm gonna decat my Veccy but can anyone tell me if they know what happened to fuel economy. Dont want to be doing this if i lose a lot of mpg as i do 40k a year.
    Also ditched the dtuk box today as spoke to PDtuning in Boldon and they said similar to other threads that it lies to ecu and just uses more fuel will find out in coming weeks ??? cheers for any input on this

    Decat will only give you more mpg as it's easier to breath

    It's the 1st mod I do when I get a diesel whip te cat out and it's amazing how much more responsive and more mpg you get it's not uk law to have a cat fitted to a diesel unlike a petrol and also won't fail a mot as just a smoke test not emissions
