If you decide to go non-catted, I'm sure you'll see greater flow. What that translates into HP and tqe I couldn't say(over your current set up).

I went catted for a few reasons; I live in a state where removing CATS carries a huge fine, I was hoping to see an increase in performance (which I did notice, but perhaps not as much had I gone sans CATS) and finally I was hoping to avoid the CEL (would only occur 1-2x a month).

I was happy w the results & not sure I or my neighbors would've been ok w the additional loudness of a non catted non resonated car...lol.

Good luck.

Good info, thank you. I doubt I would see any huge increase and it seems like a waste of time until I do a turbo upgrade. A lot of the non pure kits seem to include a special downpipe anyways.

Anyone know if the following Wagner catted DP is the older version or the updated one in regards to the o2 sensor fitment? Found it for sale online
