Why even post on LS1Tech if others are going to go right off and call you a liar? That's what I don't like about guys like that. Why not listen to others experiance and offer your insight into it instead of tryin to make someone look like a dick?
Plus one of the companies I am re orginzing right now lost a ton thanks to gm investments, it's making my job alot harder and taking a shot at gm who is making my ball breaking side company *as if having a normal job and being a college student isn't enough* worse, makes my day suck a tiny bit less.

i by no means am any sort of expert so please dont flame, i just speak from persenal experiences and the information of a friend who is a member of his site and very noligable in the ways of the 4th gen f-body. It seems that when i had a cut-out on my car in my L/M, i was just a hair quicker on the top end, just noticable, but barely, while on the same token it seems i was also a bit slugish off the line. Now, this weekend im installing the below header setup, finally, and the good friend of mine, some of u may know him as "Raise" on this site, told me after i asked him about cats or no cats said that basically the same thing as when i had the cut-out would happen. i would loose that back-pressure, thier-by loosing afew pounds of tq., but i would gain just alittle in the hp department. But since im gone catted, cause i dont want to be deff, mainly, i wont loose any tq. now this was a gross simplification, he had said it much more expertlly, but i think u get the idea. Persenally, i think unless u plan on strictly racing the car at the track, i would go catted. the power differance is so minimal that it doesent seem worth the haed ache to me, but hey, to each his own.

And I don't care what GM's stock did for your company. They pay me well and that's all that matters to me. But in retrospect, I try to be a nice guy to any who ask me questions or my opinions about things.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the ecu tune, as some cars can be picky more so these obd2 cars.
ECU tuning is a hobby of mine, i've spend over a full weekend just geting a header right on a stock otherwise 92 civic hatch of a friends.
I really doubt a 2nd program would be warrented but I'm just now wondering as far as the computer goes how picky it would be to tune cut out open or closed..

i agree with this,Torque wrench i was not tryng to meke you mad,i did lots of reasurch on exhaust and for max effort no backpressure was needed,sorry to upset anyone.
