Default High flow cats question???
I just installed these to legalize car...somewhat!

It feels as though the car has a little more get up and go.
Is that possible,and if so so would it be due to more backpressure or maybe I'm just crazy???

It typically brings back some low end/midrange torque due to increased backpressure. I'm looking forward to some of that as well.

You might lose a little up top, but I doubt it's seriously noticeable. Especially if you have the car dyno tuned. You wouldn't believe how much 4.10's would do for your car.
