Default adding hi-flow cats

Would adding hi-flow cats to an ORY mess with my tune? Car is tuned with the mods in my sig.

I have always heard high flow cats are worthless but I have heard that mostly for imports. Therefore I don't know if they have there place in larger motors or not. As far as messing with your tune they won't make a world of difference. They aren't going to hurt anything but I am sure you will gain a bit more if you have it retuned for the high flow cats. That is if they are actually much help with flow.

Its more of sounds issue with me. If i am just putting around the cackle in the exhaust tone sounds horrible... WOT/hard throttle it's great but just easy driving sounds like crap.

Hi-flow cats will make it sound better, IMO anyways. I had American Racing Headers, hi-flow cats and a Magnaflow muffler and it sounded great.
