no cat...

for those of you with a high flow cat or straight pipe, how well did your engine take it? i was considering a straight pipe with an adapter for the o2 sensor but wasn't shure if my engine would lose performance because of the loss of back pressure. any help?

oopps...sorry searched and found.

what's the performance gains then?

with the HP High Flow Cat, yes, u lose a bit of bottom end, especially below 4k... but i think to get the best results, u should test out both the HP and a different aftermarket HighFlow cat on your car... or just take peoples word for it. eitherway, im satisfied with mine.

if you're willing to do it, lose the cat and keep the piping diameter low....
