    Buy a Decat pipe. Not very expensive, I'm sure you'd find plenty of used ones on donedeal, adverts etc. About 30 quid or so.

    Is it a Turbo?

    Someone else may be able to tell you for certain if the Decat will mess with your Lambda Sensor or not. Depends if your sensor is before or after the Cat

    All a Decat pipe is, is a piece of pipe that goes where your cat was.

    As it's a N/A, you'll get virtually no gain from it.

    It'll make it a bit louder but there'll be no increase in power. It won't sound great though, is it the standard exhaust on it?

    Actually, you're more likely to lose low and mid-range torque if it's N/A. Plus it's sounds horrible. Aside from the more toxic fumes you'll be letting out
