Went to Cobb Plano Friday to have down pipe and high flow cat installed. What a fantastic expirence! Everyone there is very friendly. I also got to ride in Chris's Evo X with FP Green. (I think I'm sold)

So far:
With Stock MR the Access Port read my 0-60 time as 5.2
Stage 1 the Access Port read 0-60 as 4.9
Stage 2 read 0-60 as 4.2

I could not be happier with the results. I could feel a great difference between each stage and I dare say my Evo is now faster than the Cobra I traded it for. I'll probably take it to Ennis (1/4 mile track) one day just for fun.

I am yet to spend the cash for the Cat-back exhaust but I suppose that will be next.

Nice. Now try some E85 and be prepared for another nice bump in power.

I take it you have a DP and TP/HFC? If so, which?

^ What YooShin said:

no cat-back, but running stage 2? boost pill?

Guys at Cobb Plano said Stage 2 was fine without Cat Back.

Yes we know that but which DP and HFC, Cobb?

Yeah with the stock Cats removed that would be the biggest restriction, the changes with most after-market exhausts are minor in diameter pipe increases. Besides the rear muffler section.

I plan on running the OTS Stg 2 with a test pipe and boost pill removed.

so I could just throw on a test pipe, remove the boost pill & run stage 2...?

Yup. From what i've been thought when you are running catless your are stage 2 worthy haha.
Catback or Turboback......it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are catless.
I figured that with my testpipe catback setup i would need to go stage 1.
But i've been thought otherwise recently.

oh sorry. I have the Cobb down pipe and the Cobb test pipe with the high flow cat installed. Also have Cobb SF intake

There is a ton more to be had out of the Stage2 OTS with some of the cookie cutter MIVEC maps out there. I modified my Stage2 AMS 93 MIVEC when I was running the AP and it made as much a difference as going from stock to Stage2 with regards to spool up. I tried several maps before I found the one I liked, i.e., gear-based, progressive, Cobb's, stock, etc.
