    Depends of the result you want. If you want some pop and bangs, go for a decat. If you want (A little bit) more power, go for an intercooler :)

    If by Decat you mean removing the cat youll end up having to put it back each year to pass MOT? 

    I would really recomend a big intercooler if you are still on the standard one as it just dont cut it after a re map.

    If your still on the standard exhaust the decat will only give you a small percentage bhp, and of course will not pass a mot but I’m sure you know that lol, if your going to go stage 2 then airtec stage 2 intercooler or go with the stage 1 intercooler if you sticking with stage 1.

    with a upgraded intercooler don’t forget you will need to drill in to the crash bar unless you go mountune intercooler
