De-cat will help your exhuast flow and it will increase your engine power because there won't be no more cat to block the air flow of your engine exhaust but there is big problem your car won't pass the MOT if you de-cat it

You will notice a difference with a decat mainly on the MWay i notice the difference at higher RPM not anyother time tbh.

It will likely also help turbo spool, but without a remap you wont see any more power.
