i dont think it makes much of a diference. the reason there are so many mixed opinions on this subject is because most people that do it have it done the same time that they do there whole exhaust. thats why they think that it helped the horspower. the only difference you will get in taking out or replaceing it is if the old one was start to get clogged or something. and it will have an effect on the exhaust tone( good or bad i dont know).


Well if your talking abotu the CAT...I have heard diferent stories. I mean casue you dont want to push alot o air in and have it where it cant get out and on the other hand you dont want to push some in and have too much flow coming out. So who knows.
I have mine done and I seen soem performeance but jsut gut it and stick it back up there its and easy and free mod!


its not like you are pushing air from a smaller pipe into a larger pipe and then back into a smaller one because the reason the cat is bigger than the rest of the exhaust piping is because of the honeycomb stuff inside it. the honeycomb stuff inside takes up space, so in order to compensate they make the canester larger. now if you gut it out then you would have a section of pipe with a larger volume than the rest but it will not restrict anything. the air will just move slower when it reaches that portion and then go faster when it hits the smaller part again. so it really doesnt make much of a difference. i got one for my old eclipse and the only difference between the factory one and the highflow one was wieght. the performance one was i little lighter. i hardly think its worth trouble.
