Catless downpipe debate

I am currently running a tune(hp tuners) and cold Air intake. I am trying to figure out if a catless downpipe would be a good mod to go with at this point? Any advice would be great.

Thanks

A catless downpipe is always a good mod for an LNF.

to tell you from my experience, "yes!". it makes a big difference after switching back to my stock dp in 6 months. Now stop asking questions and go order ZZP Catless DP or Badmab.

I have the megan it fit perfect and it was only 160 to the front door. I dont see the point in paying any more than that for a 3 foot piece of pipe

It will if you don't run a defouler. It doesn't have an angled 02 sensor hole, so if you get one go to modern performance and order a vibrant 02 defouler. So far I've ran over 1000 miles on my catless dp with no code. If you're HP or trifecta tuned, you can get the code disabled.
