Default Pype Cats

I've been lookin for some cats and i think i'm gonna go with the pypes due to the cheap price and also the compact size of them. If anyone knows of any negatives please tell me. But otherwise they would work fine on my car with no pontential problems??

I found them when I was shopping for cats, the only reason I didn't get them was b/c I couldn't find anyone on here that had ANY experience with them. I'm with you on the price being very attractive though

Personally looking at the flow rates the Magnaflow Carsound cats are superior.

These look like they will offer low restriction on motors producing ~362bhp (flywheel). So if a cam is in your future then I'd probably look else where.

Having said that they should be substantially better than stock OEM cats.
