Does anyone know where can I get a decat for a 1 litre Corsa b? Can't find one anywhere only for 1.4 + 1.6's
Or even a good place that could make one?

Go on the Powerflow website and find your local dealer, they'll make you one

It's a 1.0 I'm not hoping for any performance gains,
It would sound nice with the straight though pipe and sportex backbox i've already got to fit, want some pops and bangs

Imagine this will be mega expensive, would prefer to just buy a pre made one :/

My old one only had the backbox with silenced centre section, I'm yet to fit the racetube and backbox back onto this one so I don't know..

How does this work, I'd be declaring everything but can you even declare a decat?

The good thing about a loud exhaust on a 1 litre corsa is the noise will stick around for much longer than any other car.

Sounds ,
undecided though, That sounds great but a decat wouldn't hurt .. Louder the better
Will have to see once I put the racetube on with backbox, live in countryside so won't have neighbours complaining anyway

Dects are illegal. You won't pass an MOT with one on so there's absolutely no chance you'd be able to declare it to the insurance. I'm not judging but what you've done here effectively is advertise the fact your car's not going to be fit for the road legally speaking.

I don't care whether people do it or not, I'm just saying the majority of them are smart enough not to shout about it on a forum.
The fact is there are just so many very sensible reasons why you wouldn't do this to a 1 litre but only 1 pretty stupid reason as to why you would.

You look like a massive twat when you drive by in a corsa that's making loads of noise.

Decat will sound horrid on a 12v.
I remember when an old mate had one on his 1.2L 8v.
Was WAY too fucking loud and sounded shit.
