Well, I'm one of those somewhat environmental types so I say run a cat. You can get a 3" from Random Tech. If you want, make a test pipe for the track. Seriously, on the street, how often are you on boost? I'm on boost maybe 5% of the time. And it sucks driving behind a car with no cat, it stinks!

As for power gain... well, the more power you're making to start with, the more you'll gain probably. So anywhere from like 10-50 depending on how much you were making in the first place. Don't expect to be gaining 50 if you were only making 200 to begin with, get the idea?

i love driving behind mustangs and things that have an offroad pipe..... that sweet gas smell reminds me of the race track..... Schumacher's Ferrari definitely does not run a cat:D

Everyone at my work talks about my fire shooting out of my exhaust. One day after work(11p.m.) I left the parking lot alittle heavy footed and shot some flames going to second and everyone loved it.
