That's completely different though... Removing the pre-cat in the header is not "removing the cat" like say under the car, which this topic reffers to. Even if you remove the cat from the exhaust manifold, the manifold still will not make gains because of the size of the space where the cat used to be. Exhaust manifolds in n/a trim are pretty picky about flow and velocity when it comes to actually making some power. That's why a header is needed... and of course, a header will make some positive gains in most cars. As for your WRX... its mix in this discussion is not accurate mostly because being Turbo charged... it will see gains from exhaust flow modifications while n/a motors usually do not always see gains... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
