i was wondering what sort of power i would get if i decated my 1.6 16v?
is there much difference in performance or should i just leave it alone?

I wouldn't say it is worth it to be honest. More noise, if it it makes a difference it isn't noticeable.

If you want a few more pops then that is all about it will help.

You could look in to free flowing air filters or maybe a VXPerformance inlet if budget allows. Other than that it will cost you a few quids. They should rev up pretty quick though if its really slow then there is a problem that wants sorting before you mod it further.

Id agree that BHP gains are probably very minimal but throttle response is improved quite noticably and also as Daz said it will smell more of petrol . And obviously the noise is improved , mines pops and crackles with the mani on too
