Car delete = huge losses.
Also, piece of unsolicited advice: spend more than 10 seconds composing your questions. Spelling, punctuation, and humor are worthwhile attributes. Nobody wants to help someone that obviously can't be bothered to think things through beforehand.
If I told you that inserting a banana in your cold air intake would waft potassium into your manifold and give you 5-10 more horsepower, would you immediately jam fruit into various places, or go off and try to find corroborating evidence first?

Best gains you can get def involve a header to get rid of you exhaust manifold. I am running headers, cattless and corsa. Now best gains are going to be whatever is less restrictive to a point. Headers and cutouts are the highest gains but u also sound like a bulldozer driving around and just isnt practical unless you can open close them at a push of a button. (they have those) And yeah write in complete sentences at least when you are the one asking a q...
Maybe I'm totaly clueless here but wth is a car delete...That cant be good

At any rate there is little gain from going cat-less to high flow cats. Not to say there is no gain, it's just minimal. It becomes more beneficial with higher hp/cubic inch cars. The problem comes in when you weight in all of the other predicaments of going cat-less. The engine light will be on, unless you have a tuner shut off the post cat O2 sensors or buy O2 simulators. Then state laws come into place, I know you would need the cats in California and New York. Not to say this is to stop you, as I myself just purchased the OBX catless system and just plan on having my tuner shut off the sensors. The benefit to the OBX set up for me is the "resignator" that comes with the kit, as they look like cats; which in New York is all you need. The cats have to be visually there, and the car has to pass the computer test of having no emission codes current. California on the other hand sniffs the exhuast and you will not get away with a catless vehicle. Anyway coming back on point cat-less will yeild a gain, but a small one at best.

As far as I can find on ebay, there are no catless obx headers there anymore.
