Adding a decat pipe to an OE FTO exhaust would likely cause the baffles to fail in the backbox due to the extra flow. Your above post made it sound like it'd explode! :lol:

If I had an FTO again I would decat it, but not for power reasons, the difference is negligible, but would do it for the sound! :)

The only thing to remember is that you'll need to put back in the cat ever year as opposed to every 2 years with this new NCT scam.
