After having High Flow Cats, Test Pipes and stock cats back on again...

Ill take the stock cats... The small HP gain isnt worth the added sound... IMHO

I really enjoy my Headers/TP/XO2 but I agree with Jason, it really can get old. Especially since it has gotten bitterly cold in NC the past 2 weeks, it adds to the drone.

When it's warm outside, pure sex

Test pipes. they smell and sound sexy. I love the smell, sounds like pure performance, and they arent THAT loud.

The only way I would run TP's or HFC is with a twin turbo kit to quiet them down. I tried HFC's on my car when it had the SC and it was a lot louder which I didn't like. I was shocked to see when we did my TT kit with TP's it was just as quiet as before with the oem cats.
