I may of kept it but its still not a full decat is it. There is still another restrictive part of the decat/elbow.

Yes. It's a decat not a downpipe. The difference is significant.

Got any proof that the turbo elbow creates a restriction? It's pretty much just a straight through pipe with a bend in it, which is replicated exactly in any of the downpipes available.

Knowing all the problems people (myself included) have had with DOWNPIPES, if I still had a turbo i'd go for this DECAT.
