  • cat or no cat?

    I will be installing headers this week and wonder if it is beneficial to remove my cat. i have a high flow one right now, with my codes deleted. Does it run better or will it just hurt performance?

    Thanks!

    I have no cat, performance did not seem to suffer. I imagine no cat is better than hi-flow, but I am not sure. BUT if you have to pass emissions then stick with the high flow.

      Minimal difference between hi-flow and no cat. It's up to you really, barring local laws.
