I imagine you wouldn't see a noticeable difference, but putting a sports cat in place of a decat pipe would cause a restriction of some kind surely? And therefore a loss in power.

Someone recently did a test on the RS and rolling roaded the same car with standard cat, sports cat and a decat... The results are fairly obvious
Whether its noticeable or not is another thing, obviously a higher horse power car it will release more ponies so be more noticeable

I also read that a sports cat wouldn't lose power compared to a decat.
...I'm not saying I believe that though 
This is true but only if the car has not been maped,ie rs focus made les power then standard with decat and full milltek then the map went on then boom 250bhp + its all to do with afr

Making a de-cat for mine tomorrow, so long as I can find the right sized nut for the O2 sensor so that I can put this back on the exhaust to stop the CEL coming on. Will let you all know how it goes..
