Hi everyone, I was thinking about getting a racing straight pipe that would replace the cat for my car for use at the track but I dont know much about them. Anyone have one or have an opinion about them? Let me know what you guys think!

When you say for track use do you plan on taking it off for street driving? at any rate, be prepared for a strong exhaust smell ( some dont mind it that much....like me 
)
and a louder exhaust, gains will be minimal at top end unless other exhaust/intake mods are utalized........

Do you notice a big gain or is it minimal?

ok one last question, Im assuming you have one cuz u hinted at it. How much did yours cost? I can get one for $70 and I think I might get it and wait until I get my exhaust set up to put it on.

would it be better to just shell out more cash for the RT cat or is the straight pipe worth it?

Save your money and get the straight pipe not the RT cat.

Ive had some other issues develop with the motor that I have been instructed not to talk about until the big $ issue is resolved pending litigation. I'll post about it in a few weeks or so. But I think you can figure it out.

Is there any trouble with the rear O2 sensor? now that there isnt a cat there anymore? Also, how much gain is there when you totally loose the cat?
