Is your goal "sound" only? It seems you are wanting the Mac LT's w/high flow cats according to your sig. I think that is a great way to go. You also like a loud and deep exhaust tone. This is according to your posts that I have read. I do know that with an X pipe, you do need a straight through muffler to sound right. With your proposed LT setup and what I think your goals are, I would suggest the Bassani SS Race mufflers. Just my .02..

Oh no, not another set of mufflers, I love the sound of the stingers. It's just still way too quiet for me. It's about 70% sound/ 30% power.

Get the SLP lont-tube headers. Their X is nice...you can swap cats in or out, and unlike the Bassani setup (which allows the same thing), you don't have to cut anything.

Does taking off the cat's decrease power?

A cursory evaluation of the S197 catalytic converters seems to indicate they are straight flowing cats and there are only 2 of them. Unless you are running forced induction with serious mods, I don't see how the cats are robbing much horsepower.

2005sonicgt- Not sure if you know this but having hiflow cats and no cats are the same they're both illegal. So save yourself the money and just buy the O/R H pipe from Brenspeed. The cat's are only taking between 5-8 hp. I could careless about the hp I did it for the f***ing awesome sound. Trust me before you waste money on the longtubes and the mac prochamber try the O/R H pipe. It's only 169shipped. From my understanding longtubes won't really do you any good unless your blown.

I already have the prochamber and love it, why would I take it off and buy an h from brenspeed. I'm not trying to be an *** but that doesn't make sense. I think I am going to to buy the short offroad legs for my prochamber and use that money that I was going to put toward's the LT's toward's something else 169 shipped is an awesome deal though.

LEO_06gt please explain what you meant that hiflow cats are illegal?

I know they may not pass sniffer test in some states? But some states only check OBII readouts.

Before buying Flotech read post 7 and down about the headers. Pay now or pay later when they start having problems.
