Ok here goes.

The installation was decent. The only problem is that my car is so low that even jacked on jackstands I can't get much room to work.

Well I installed it in about 45 minutes, started the car up, and checked for leaks. I found a HUGE leak in the rear of the cat (where it meets the muffler). So another 30 minutes I got it straightened out with no leaks.

Now I let the car warm up. It does kill some of the greddy drone at 1900-2800. I can drive the car pretty quietly now in those cruising RPM ranges.

So now I gun it. It seems to pull harder and faster from 2500 up. I think it yielded more than 1 HP (as some say). To be honest it feels like about 5 HP. For $150 (groupbuy) it was worth the horsepower and noise killing.

Hmm..

Are you saying the RT Cat quiets the car? I didn't know that.

At WOT it's the same, maybe a lil louder, but it kills the low RPM drone.

I have a similar exhaust setup to you...... is there any possibilty that the RT cat will affect Oxygen sensors or anything to cause the check engine soon light to come on?
Can i still get a deal on a rt cat? =P

No the CAT doesn't get any O2 Sensors. The O2's are on the exhaust system and the ypipe. So there would be no way to really mess anything up.
