Default High Flow Catalytic Converter

I have the Indy pacy car exhaust and corsa x-pipe on a 01 convertible. Still dosen't sound agressive enough. If I add high flow catalytic converters, will more air move through the exhaust and thusly increase the exhaust sound?

Default Re: High Flow Catalytic Converter (Firstcorvette)

I have an '01 Torch Red convertible. I installed a set of Corsa Indy's with Corsa x-pipe and then installed a set of SLP headers while removing the pup cats. Car is deeper but not louder. And the deeper pitch is only minor. Still have the motor boat sound typical of all Corsa products. Changing to a "high flow" cat like a Random Tech or other will only drain your bank account. No real tone results worth mentioning and maybe only 3-5 RWHP - tops!

I think B&B is selling an exhaust setup that has the Corsa tips only a much deeper tone.

I'll never use Corsa again due to the motor boat sound. I love the exhaust and they are a quality product, just don't care for the motor boat sound.

Good luck.
