That is what most people say when they dont have something on their car and dont want it on theirs!

I say it allows more flow then the stock one and adds power and I will go get a dyno of my car soon.

not mine, I like the way it makes the exhaust sound. I also think that it HAS to improve exhaust flow, I dont know either way about the performance. I just got it for 20 bucks more with my y-pipe. I would not but one for $60, if you get one just get a regular pipe from WSP or budget.

Are you done yet? I had 2 different high flow cats and a hollow stock cat so I think my statement wasn't just something I took out of my ***. There WAS a dyno posted. A gain of 1hp and loss of 1 or 2 TQ. There was also a thread about this some time ago where a company making test pipes said they saw a 10hp/tq loss on a PATHFINDER ARMADA.

ok here he's right the test of the high flow cat showed a drop of 1 tq. and gain of 1 or 2 horse. And they do throw check engine lights most of the time. And it's a ***** to get it put on by a shop because any shop caught removing emmisons equipment get's a 10,000 dollar fine. and no you can't pass emissons, and you so right I've never had one on my car becuase I don't like to waste money.
