I also lost about 2 pounds of boost. Guess my stock downpipe had a clogged cat. Car runs a lot better now too. It feels like it pulls a little bit harder up top.

i have a pacesetter header with 2.25 catless-2.25 cherry bomb resonator...carbon fibor Muffler and it sounds great..its def louder without the cat and u def need a resonator cuz then yes it will sound like ass...i found out the expensive way haha...if you get the pacesetter you need a downpipe made so i just told the guy to hack out the cat and straight pipe it...110 for install of the header and downpipe then another 150 for the rest of the pipiing and welding...very pleased

order your downpipe through OTT. I got my CTI through them and the craftsmanship on them is great. ZZP Downpipe tend to break quite often. Haven't seen a CTI fail yet.
