  • Will there be a backpressure loss if I goto a 3 inch highflow cat to 2.75 I pipe?

    Anyone do this mod? Results(sound)(power)? Fabrications? Anyone do this themselves...Not have it installed at a muffler/exhaust shop...?

    Uh, not enough to notice a loss of power on low end but you will have a gain on top end(of power) The backpressure debate is really up in the air, and to me if there is any loss it is isn't noticeable. It is just a big hype I think :D

      you guys are not understanding... YES you
      will free up backpressure which equals= MORE HP

      More efficent engine. You may have slightly less
      torque on the low end but it will just move
      it up in the powerband a bit. that is not very extreme move 2.75 pipe and 3" cat is cool.
      Get rid of the s pipe bend after the cat.

        I'm going with the 3" cat in the future too. My question is does the length of the cat affect performance and/or sound? I know catcos are only 50 bucks but they're a bit smaller than the factory cat.
