High-flow cat. Barely any loss and saves the atmosphere I breathe from about 400 times the pollutants. Kthx.

Couldnt have said it better myself. :D

A Test Pipe is for HARDCORE RACING ONLY, give me clean air any day over .03 more peak hp. IMO not having a cat is just plain stupidity and ignorance.

Thats the kind of ignorance and stupidity I was talking about. You run it just because YOU CAN. Your still putting alot of toxic crap into the air. Please do everyone a favor and put on a cat. Just because somewere does not test for emissions does NOT mean that its ok, healthy or environmentally sound.

For a street car having a high flow cat vs. a test pipe makes virtually no extra performance gains. The only reason to have a test pipe is if you’re going all out on a track all the time. Please don't be so ignorant, its there for a reason! You can still get great performance and have clean air! Why not have both?

its as simple as "a test pipe sounds like ****, whereas a highflow catt wont"

But theres also the build up of carbon on your rear bumper w/o a catt, and the added HC emissions to the atmosphere.
