to Cat or not to Cat, that is the question

[Cobain03]

been looking at exhaust combos and im probably going with a magnaflow catback and have seen that many people have had good reviews about the UPR x pipe. My question is, is there any gain from going catless? or is it mainly for sound?

I have the UPR anf it fit great and sounds good. If drive on th street alot cats if not no cats.

 

[Cobain03]

so if its an intown car go cats? what about highway?

your probably fine in KY, it frees up a lil flow and less retriction making for a few more horses but possibly less TQ. Mainly the sounds is burley

so just save the money and buy a non catted system and buy the MIL things.

I bought a non-catted pipe.. It sucked! It was way too loud, had the check engine light issue, even with MIL Elims, and it put black soot up my back bumper. Took it off, put a catted pipe on and much better. Just pay the extra and get the catted mid pipe, well worth it.

Dunno, do what you feel is right lol. I would personally get a O/R pipe b/c of the sound and loudness.

I have a catted x-pipe and I love it. I have had no CEL problems and even though it's got cats, they are a hell of a lot less restrictive than the stock 6-cat h-pipe that my car came with.
