A mate of mine has just bought an S3 with an mrc stage2 map using a Miltek de-cat. He doesn't like the sound so has reinstalled the stock cat/downpipe, I told him he would need a remap or at least a map tweek. He then rang MRC and the girl on the phone said it would be fine. I'm surprised at this and would of thought the cat would not cope with the flow needed now. The cars running 410bhp.
 
It’s fine to have the stock exhaust but you will lose some of the power gains and won’t hear any of the pop and crackles
 
I got him to ring back as I was sure the info was not correct, it seems there was a mix up and it will need a map tweek.
