I think if you like the way it sounds you should to it and run it the way it is.
The set up you describe sound very koool.

None of us ever seem to be content for very long no matter how much we spend or what we have. Even the big dogs who have the money.......

I guess if that weren't true we would still be like the flintstones and peddling our rockmobiles barefoot

Make a pull on the dyno with the cat-back disconnected and see if it is causing a loss. I'm sure you will be doing additional testing soon.
Maybe results will show no need for any changes.

Here's my opinion for what it's worth Rob, get your setup dailed in- injectors, pumps, boost, timing, race tune, NOS ect.... before you go spent more on additional parts, I'm sure you'll run some solid numbers with your current package and then make changes as you can afford, living on Mac and cheese and Tomato soup gets old real fast, trust me on this as I've made the mistake. Good luck, Todd

Has anyone proved the stock cat-back to be a restriction in the exhaust system. I've yet to see a proven gain through an aftermarket cat-back.

I'm def NOT doing this to gain HP, I agree in some cases an exhaust system is nothing more than high priced sound candy, not a big HP Mod. I like you have never seen proff, dont think any of us have, thats also why Sal let me try it out. HOWEVER in my case it appears I am at that door step right where I need "a little more flow" to make it all work right.

I have single cat' into the Mac cat-back; works fine; I even ran it headers only; and saw only 1-2 Hp gain so, IMO I think you will be happy with it! (thumbsup)

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING TO READ, AND HOLY HP ON THOSE NUMBERS BRO
