Replaced my cat with budget racing cat. This compliments my Greddy Catback and Cattman Y. At wide open throttle, it smells like ****, but I like the power.

I just put on a Custommaxima.com straight pipe. Very little sound difference, few funny smells and power... well, it cant hurt. Not a major power gain by any means, and dont bother with a high flow cat, the stock one is pretty high flow. Straight pipe or nothin IMO
