Rep Power: 811 well yea stock exhaust kills any kind of power after 5.5k rpm. the hp curve just shoots down. Heck even an axleback would be fine. The stock muffler is the biggest restriction, but having a catback would help with turbo too.

you trying to say that a cat worsens emissions?
a cat has prescious metals inside like platinum, gold and others that heat up quick and burns raw fuel making noX, co co2 and hc(hydrocarbons).
the chemicals form to make a lil water also.
without a cat do you have any clue how much worse this would be?
obviously you dont get how a cat works, or else you wouldnt say its worse for the environment.
