Just FYI, some states (like Maryland) do an OBD-II test and use a mirror to make sure your car actually has catalytic converters. I believe there is a fine associated with operating a vehicle without cats if it had them from the factory. That's why I'm keeping the catalytic converters. The small performance gain is not worth the legal hassle and the increased emissions.

I have heard of Norm's garage. He does awesome work.

He is located in the Dekalb Area If I recall.

All you need is your tuner, the USB Cable, and he can email you a new tune. You can even go to BBR and they should be able to help you. Their email tunes cost about 75 bucks I believe.

To be safe, if you really want peace of mind, get a Catted X or H Pipe with High Flows.

N/A cars won't see a big increase in gains. F/I cars will. It's more for the sound, however, there is a decent gain nonetheless.

For some reason, I thought they did. Have you checked out Bassani, Magnaflow, SLP, etc?

Pretty sure JBA does. My buddy has LT headers, with a Catted X Pipe from JBA.

Check there.
