Well it has a high flow cat in there right now with my custom y pipe (same as sho shop). I wanna see if the stock looking one that msds provides actually does give more power. I wanna try 1 run with an open exhaust. That would be cool, it would sound like the world is coming to an end

butt dyno says mmm mmm good. Raced a new Mustang GT tonite, I was quite pleased with myself, stayed with him all the way to 220ish km/h then traffic started to appear so I aborted. I figured he would beat me pretty easily, but it was a good contest.

Pre cats are located in the exhaust manifolds. They are for emissions on cold startups. The headers eliminate them, hence the need for mil's on odb-II cars.

what is the point of doing an after dyno if you don't do a baseline? so really if you pull 190hp and 165 lb/ft of tq that really doesn't say much about the msds headers because you could have been doing 195 ans 170 before the headers (not very likely, but still possible) so coud somoene PLEASE get a baseline done before they do the damn msds headers?!?!?!??!?!
