Alright, may be a dumb question but im going to ask it anyway. What to do with that cat. Should i invest in a hightflow, or just say bye bye to it altogether. If any of yall think i should get a high flow what brand would you recomend? Thanks for the help.

Go with a Carsound cat. Cheap and they perform well. You can get it at http://www.ipsracing.com

 

Cat. Highflows are a waste IMO.

Just get a 2.5 or 3" universal.

 

How much is the cat actually costing me hp wise???

 

Unless you are running a built engine pushing 200+ at the wheels, your losing 1-2hp max with a cat.

 

Stock 1-2 hp

FI or high end N/A depends. Usually 5-10 even higher

 

Thanks for the info. If a dumb question every shows up from me im apologizing ahead of time. I'm still learning, so everything yall tell me is more than apreciated.

I have yet to see a high flow cat that is "bolt on" to a header and pipe.
is the carsound cat "bolt on"??

 

Random Tech and Carsound both make bolt on high flow cats. You just have to specify the dimensions or tell them what header, exhaust and car the cat is going on.

 

get a carsound like they say. i ran my car without a cat for a while and i sucked cuz it was loud as hell. now im back to stock. wasnt much of a gain in power anyway.

 

yeah...actually I saw the Random Tech one and it was like $200+. wtf
a stock cat is even more $$ over 300.00
I am just sticking with what I got! a damn test pipe

Carsound cats go for like $100...that's how much i paid for mine. It's not installed yet tho, I have a 2.5 in carsound cat and its not a direct bolt on to my DC header and 5Zigen Exhaust, when I get some money together I'm gonna have to bring it somewhere and get some flanges welded on so it'll fit.
