What exactly is the RT CAT anyway? Is it a high-flow cat or a test pipe?

Y-pipe fo sho!! Some people have mentioned that the RT cat will help with the drone sound of a y with cat back. But never really heard anyone going on how it gives them extra power. I was going to get it but not going to waste the money.

The cat should help muffle some of the droning.

RT CAT = Random Technology (brand) Cat Converter = flows better than stock

Test pipe = straight pipe to replace stock Cat (car has no cat now, extended b-pipe)

Nope, it made my Stillen muffler quieter (is that a word or is it more quiet?).

well, I'm just fustrated with all the confusing laws that differ in every state. Plus I do think it's important that people out there know they might get ticketed for mods they do.
