you could just gut the cat and no one would know the difference

i was thinking of running a pipe threw the gutted cat (as per advise from my previous thread) however im just looking for a legit high flow cat that would give of as much gains as a test pipe..

hey just a quick question though, if i get my exhaust guy to drill a hole threw the middle of the plates inside the cat system, would that make it act as a test pipe, not a gutted cat?? or do i def need to run a pipe threw it?

I doubt your muffler guy will do that but I think that will be the same as a gutted cat.

if I remember rightly I said drill the cat out but I meant drill all the cat contents out but this will result in it being a resonator thus causing back pressure so a straight pipe replacement would be better at the same diameter

HFC's are so damned expensive... miltek makes one too, which is very $$$. I am hoping to have my miltek exhaust in a couple weeks... me being a loser, I'd probably want a miltek cat if I ever need one.

EDIT: wow that Labree one is priced very well @ 260. I wonder how it compares to the bloody 750 dollar miltek.
