Yeah, the muffler was causing too much backpressure helping you down low hurting you up high.

imo losing torque in this torque sensative car is very noticeable, especially if you live in a hilly area.

Already ordered? Agency Power is going to be pretty loud too, there's not cat there either. If you want to be quiet yet catless check out the mazsport double resonated pipe.

BTW I realized I don't feel too guilty not running a cat considering the low NOx emissions of our cars by nature in combination with all other cars getting higher mileage.
