Please don't mention back pressure and torque in the same sentence. That is a factual misinterpretation of what happens.
If Mr (or Mrs) thread starter wants some sort of dodgy, illegal cat replacement, I'd sujest that they put a piece of pipe that is the same diameter as the rest of the exhaust inside the cat body.
Tho a new, replacement cat is the obvious true sollution. |
I am going for the cheapest solution. I honestly don't even care about what produces the most power. My Milano is my secondary car, and I have no intentions of building it up to be anything. It's a cloudy day car.
But I'd love it if the cheapest solution produced the most power. And like I said, I'm already catless on my Spider(thank you previous owner).
