If you remove them it wont fly threw the MOT next time, it will sound a lot louder and any HP gains wont really be achieved unless you go to town on redesigning the complete exhaust system to suit.

If you decat it will most likely fail the next mot on emishions and increase you mpg. It will sound sweet though.

Not really... to legally use the car on the road the cats must stay. Simples.

If you're adamant that you want to change them, you can fit 3.0 cats with a couple of mods...  :y

You could bypass one but the farting sound it will make isn't worth it

Get xover pipes fitted instead and remove the centre boxes
