    I second that. Nothing that you would feel in the drivers seat, but maybe on a dyno you would see an increase. Nothing to brag about.

    You'll make 1-2 WHP more like other guy said; nothing noticable. Stick with a high-flow cat so it doesn't smell like gas fumes everywhere you go.

    I have a magnaflow high flow carsound cat and it works great. I threw my whole exhaust on at once so I was not able to test it with and without. I had to lengthen my rear o2 sensor and install a bung to put it in past the cat but it passes emissions, all my readniness monitors for o2 and cat converter set and my fuel mileage has not changed too much.

    testpipes are loud and raspy sounding. stick with the cat, your eardrums will thank you later when you are not deaf.
