Dragstr05 said:Sure there is truth to it. An engine actually does need 'some' backpressure, but its not like the whole exhaust was unbolted. Thing is, people put midpipes with only 2 cats all the time and they dont complain.
Good example though; I unbolted the exhaust on my protege just for the heck of it when I was bored at the shop one day and took it for a drive in the lot. The loss in torque was insane...not that it has much anyway, but it was REALLY bad. Bad to the point that I could hold it full throttle and it would just make noise and go nowhere. Kinda like a honda...

Don't waste you money on a catted X. When and if you get one, get an O/R X. Plus, they are cheap.BLUE03GT said:im not saying anyone is wrong... im just speaking from personal experience
then again... i have gears... so i may be bypassing that low end sluggishness that 3.27's might have
all in all... im happy about the removal of the cats... im low on mod money so i cant really buy a catted-x... plus i dont want it any louder than it is right now with Flows and 2 removed cats.. i cant stress enough the EXHAUST TONE
