stay stock... you will gain maybe 1-2 hp from what i've heard... not worth the money...

I don't know the legitimacy of the dynos but I think I'm going to get a RT High Cat, with a UR UDP.

I put on a y pipe and catback excluding cat cause it was on back order. I am sc and when I would rev the motor I could feel the exhaust shutter alittle. Like it was being held back. When I installed the random cat the first thing I did was rev it up and it was smooth. Im sure that the actual hp gains are not significant but I would def get rid of the stock. If you are going to put an exhaust on than why would you not replace the cat? It is a part of the exhaust

Those dynos are drawn by hand not pulled from a car. I had the RT cat and took it off, sure as hell couldn't feel 27HP as they claim at customenterprise. Like JDm said above maybe 1hp or 2 you'll also have more noise.

I'm also skeptical of those numbers, but note that they are testing a y-pipe and high flow cat over stock y/cat. The bulk of those "numbers" show the y pipe...I don't know
