If you're cat's fucked anyway knock the innards out of it. Makes it look like it's still there as well.

the 1 litre decat wont swap over to a bigger engine, the 1 litre has a different bore exhaust, better off saving your money mate until you can afford a bigger engine and then try de-catting

The cats on the 1.0's are in the engines bays. It will be you're middle silencer thats too close to the floor mate Are you planning to change the back box for an aftermarket one as well btw?
