Straight Pipe vs. Hi-Flow Cat

[ArturboGSR98]

I will be going to San Antonio next week so I will pay Tony a visit. I will let you know as soon as I know something.
Greg, I will do my best to hook you up. It should'nt be to much of a problem.

Thanks Art. I'll email you with details when I get a moment. Time to put a 3 year old to bed.

I'm striking out here folks. I've been to multiple garages, even the muffler shop that pissed me off in the first place, and no one will build a straight pipe for me.

I have two questions for you:

1) Can anyone comment on the effectiveness (reducing backpressure) of Straight Pipes vs. Hi-Flow Cats?

2) Can anyone point me to someone who sells straight pipes?

Thanks,

Greg,

My Civic wears a gutless OE Civic Catalytic Converter. It was on the car when I got it, so I cannot give you a before/after impression.

Holden give me a call I have resonated stainless steel test pipes.

I can think of a company that makes resonated test pipes...so it sounds like you have a cat, avoiding that raspy noise. Tenzo R. Full stainless too, retail pricing of about 50 bucks. Not bad.

Yep you can expect your boost to go up a bit.... but i dunno about your area that you live in .... but around my area, people get hasselled by the cops... so the better thing to do is get a CAT off a junker and hollow it out ... then put that on your ride...
