please help me

i need help deciding on what exhaust sytem i should get. i have read that some downpipes decrease power?? so im wondering if i should only do a cat-back or the whole turbo back. Also, i wanted to know what i should do because i still want to use my o2 cencor, but by changing the cat to a test pipe/offroad pipe i cant do that. is the high flow cat still pretty restrictive? which company would you recommend?

I have a RMR catback, downpipe, UR 3" high-flow cat, and a K&N filter. Went on the dyno and gained 28 more whp on DynoLog dyno (which is equal to about 35 more whp on a DynoJet).

it all varies on what kind of set-up you got on your car,with an intake/dp/catback/high-flow cat or cat-delete on the car should be perfect w/o losin power not unless you have a 93 octane then it will be different since here in cali we only got **** gas(91)

Get a HKS or the RMR downpipe. Ive never heard anyone complaining of losing power... this against > one article on a RSR in import tuner? You do the odds.

Only JDM parts are allowed on my car.

I'm heading toward HKS downpipe and 30th anniversary Hi-power catback.

I have and am very happy with the complete Buschur 3" turbo back with high flow cat.

It is the lightest and the loudest stainless exhaust. What more can you ask for?

the downpipe comes with spacer but if youre uneasy about it,rmr sells the tie bar that clears the downpipe.
