Do it. I switched and never looked back, the car feels more torquey, more powerful, and spools faster. If it's too loud, consider the buschur bullet testpipe. I love mine!

i have been hearing both sides of the story where with a test pipe, the torque gains are great. i guess i won;t find out till i try both. but hey i have a question on some of the states with emision testing. lets say i was towing my car back from the track with a test pipe on, and i needed to go get it tested for emission for plate renowal, could i just swap the test pipe with an hfc and do the test? and put back the test pipe whenever iam offroad?
Thanks,

if your worried about passing inspection just find someone to let you borrow a stock cat, swap it in then swap it out after inspection
