IMO, it depends on if your state has emissions testing. If you do, and don't want to have to wory about putting your catalytic converter back on each time, I would say go with a hi-flow cat. But if your state doesn't, or you have a way around it, I would say go with the test pipe. I've had one on my car for about a year now and have no complaints. My exhaust is louder, the engine light has stayed off, and my car definetly feels less restrictive.

In a Naturally Aspirated DSM I'd race the test pipe, a cat can actually move.

That is quite possibly the funniest and most original bash at the 420A I have ever heard. Thank god someone is at least willing to put the effort into good quality shit talking lol.

Yup, that was the funniest thing I might have ever read in my life, back on topic, gut the cat or go with the test pipe. You'll notice the biggest gain. chris
