Most of the available cat-backs and air lids offer similar gains, so it really comes down to personal choice. I still run the Hooker cat-back after all these years and love it. I use a FTRA top with a SSRA bottom for a cold air and it works good.

i like how a car sounds with no cats and with a muffler. but you will not be passing emissions if you do that

Im gunna be switching my SLP air lid for the Fast toys lid and ill prolly be getting duals. Thought i might offer my set-up as a possibility. The only thing is i believe you have to get a 85mm MAF to have the Fast toys lid

he said best power wise. y pipe isnt involved here. i dont think bullet mufflers really stop flow enough to make a power difference. just get good long tubes, i think tsp has some large diameter ones, and an x pipe and a couple bullets of your choice.

long tube headers will be deleting his stock cats, he will have to weld the cats further back.

^ oook, well he didnt say he even needed them. he said max performance which means at least longtubes, and really no cats. high flow cats if needed for emissions. not everyone has emissions testing though, such as virginia.
