Have a look at <http://www.dmc-service.nl/Uk/Index_Uk.htm>
I hae one on my car and it really makes a difference,
both in performance as in tone of the exhaust.
When doing this it is also a good idea to remove
the valve and pipe concerning the heat stove; this valve
restricts airflow by more than 25% of the diameter of
the intake flex tube...

Fortunately we don not have to worry about the legality
of removing the Cat in the Netherlands; our cars are of
an age that makes it legal to remove it...
