Mid-pipe vs High Flow Cat Converter?
sup guys, i already have a Cat-Back exhaust system, but i'm looking into getting more HP from the exhaust... I was going to invest in either a Mid-pipe or a High Flow Cat... If anyone can help me out and tell me which is worth buying, whether it be because of more power/noise etc.. thanks

I have the RP Supercat unit on my car right now. Had the SR unit before. Both very nice units. With midpipe you get slightly more hp (though the RP Supercat gave midpipe level hp gains), more sound if that is your thing. You have a large chance of getting the check engine light, and you are polluting the environment more. The hi-flow cat units act to slightly curb sound a bit (catalytic acts as a resonator), & you can still pass emissions.

^What he said...AND, what are the gains people have seen with the RP SuperCat?
$395 does not sound too bad at all and IS there a sound clip some place? I don't mind a sexyER and higher sound, but I wouldn't want it to be come annoying on a long trip.
"Search"...I know I know, I'm just being lazy and thought I'd ask a $5 question and await a $5 response.
lol

I read that the rp cat made an oem exhaust sound buzzy at some rpms. I guess the sound really depends on what exhaust you are matching it to. I think it sounds great with the racing beat exhaust and greddy (which was pretty loud)

Thanks.
