YOu can, but exhaust emissions will be higher. I don\'t know how vehicle testing works in Germany - if it has to pass a yearly test that includes emissions test, you might have a problem.

-any other mods needed?

Not as far as I know... although remember that rotaries are NOISY when de-catted.

The cat temperature sensor? If you decat you can remove that (but I don\'t know how you tell the engine management that\'s what you\'ve done...)

Note I have assumed you have an RX7 - if it\'s an RX8 then the answers will be different!

Which car is it for.... You will need to ensure the engine can fuel correctly with the back pressure reduced.
