I believe it's negligible and you may need to swap it every mot.

Will have to put cat on for MOT you will gain a few BHP and it will be a bit louder the best mod is 421 manifold for a TF/F exhaust.

I had a de-cat on my F for a while (for the same reasons as you) however I was told that it was not nice for cars following (if you're on a group run it matters) as the exhaust fumes get caught by the car behind. I took it off as I didn't realise.
Go for the 4-2-1, it's the greatest single mod and it'll give you want you want.
You may have to fork out for a mil eliminator as the management system may not like the de-cat.
Don't forget you could have insurance issues too if you remove the cat.

Re: Decats on TF 135's?
Thanks adrian some good points to think about there!!
Having looked at the price for 4-2-1's that will have to wait for another day!!

Re: Decats on TF 135's?
Got myself sorted now,tried Cybox many times to arrange collection of the pipe if they could supply,the guy in charge didnt have the courtesy to return my calls.
So have ordered the Toyo one off the bay to match the backbox.Also ordered the eliminater kit from yhe bay from a guy who supplies them for £18 posted.To ensure theres no problem swapping and changing ive also ordered the stainless nut & bolt kit from B&G.Bit dearer than i really wanted to go but a bit of fun none the less.
