i think we are all agreeing with each other on this one

Yeah, you are definitely not losing any power with a cat-back. Tell our buddy to stay away from the crack.

you have a 3.8 catback...therefore you still have a cat converter that terminates in 2.25" ID (stock) from there it goes through a stock 2.25" ID S pipe and THEN it transitions to a 2.5" mid pipe and a 2.5" ID muffler inlet...with two 2.25" tail pipes outlets.

You are not losing power. You still have most of the back pressure as stock because of the stock components still on car (cat and s pipe) but you do have a high performance (hi flo) muffler. This is better than stock (more efficient) but louder than stock...too loud for most 'new car' buyers and production vehicle noise emissions standards.

When your friend tells you not to put 8mm spark plug wires on your car...or to not swap in a K and N air filter....refer to this thread.
