    I Have a concern around legalities on this too. If I remove the decat, will it void my extended warranty with it being on the wrong side of legal?

    I've well insulated my floor area with Dynamat, Dyna liner and acoustic matting where required, and aluminium exhaust shield where the pipe work gets close to the floor, with very good results, so the tape can only make things better. Decat makes such a difference re heat in the cabin, although I still get a warm hand brake assembly.
    Thanks fellas.

    Interested to see the results as I almost ordered some from ebay myself the other night....I see supercheap do some cheap wrap too and I guess its similar quality/performance.

    How much is the straight through costing? $100?

    No and no.
    My truck is quiet (for a Defender) due to the amount of sound proofing I've installed, and while I'm use to the sound level in it, I honestly don't remember any change to the exhaust noise due to the decat.
    Same with the Slick Shift, now Idont remember how sloppy the standard shift was and it's only 3 weeks since I installed that great mod.
    Just do it!
