Random Tech catalytic converter

I am planning on purchasing Cattman y and b pipes in the near future. I have a few questions about Random Tech catalytic converter. First, did you dyno before and after? What were the results in HP and torque gains? If you did not dyno, were gains noticeable. Lastly, did you think it was a worthwhile buy? Thanks in advance.

I've had an RT cat for 2 years and I can't tell the difference in power since I installed it with the rest of my exhaust parts. Most people complain about them breaking but I haven't had any problems with mine yet. I recommend them but I'm probably the only person on here who does
