Can anyone explain to me the advantages /disadvantages of a catted /non catted downpipe system please

No perceptible power difference btwn catted and non-catted

Catted costs more

Catted allows you to pass inspections in all but the most stringent states such as CA and NY.  And is more environmentally of course.  And more saleable.

In case of fuel injector leak and other such issues, non-catted will let u know very quickly.

Catless DPs have been blamed for blowing out oem turbo seals.  Not sure if fair or not.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
