Power difference between ORY and catted Y

Just wanting to know what the difference is between the two since Texas Speed offers one with cats for $350. Thinking about being legal again one day

I'd like to know exactly what the power difference would be as well. I guess if you run a cut out (or two) it wouldnt really matter.

The difference between the two is going to be around 5-7 rwhp, not a whole lot, but I would stick with the ory to get the most out of the headers.

well actually it depends on how much power you make...there was a dyno of a viper that made like near 900rwhp and with cats it made like 35rwhp less

I'll keep my ORY most likely. Kind of wondering if the backpressure would help low end some.

yeah its all percentage. for example, if u put a pulley on a near stock car, u will see more power gain than from a car that is already full bolt-on with h/c. im thinking about goin back to cats maybe soon, not sure tho. if nothin else, just for sound improvement. i could give two ***** about emissions

I suppose so...it's all good though...everyone asks dumb questions...you know what pisses me off is when you just completly go blank and you have to ask someone how to spell something like "where"....it's like what the crap...anyhow...does that happen to anyone else?

Back when I was cam only on stock 241 heads I made 399rwhp @ 386rwtq with a Hooker ORY and open cutout. After adding a new QTP Catted Y pipe I went down to 389rwhp @ 374rwtq. These were new 3" Magnaflow Cats so the loss was the least it will ever be as cats are supposed to get more restrictive the more you run them. I imagine they are holding me back 10-15rwhp over my current numbers.
