Very true. There aren't but about 4 or 5 cars on this Forum that might benefit from that. Everyone else that tried it lost low-end torque.

And it'* illegal in all 50 States.

I didn't see a torque loss going from a highflow cat to a straight pipe.

Then you are a rare exception indeed.

I did. For the short period of time I ran without a cat on the SLE, and there'* a dozen more here also. Including those like me that got our bottom end torque BACK when we put the cat back in. One just a couple weeks ago because of our advice.
