Have a 2 1/2" pre-catless front Y along with a hi-flow main cat to pass emissions tests and receive max benefit.

You will get about a 15chp gain from the above cats change; not sure what gain the elims will bring but they will be LOUD...

I eliminated pre cats and went to a high flow main cat. I have dual outlet OEM style Magnaflows. Drone only between 1200 and 1600 rpm's.
