Re: Question about high flow cats (02Z06VETTE)
Interesting question. I don't have the answer BUT, my local dealer told me NOT to add headers and high flows. The reason he stated was due to back pressure loss and you WILL lose HP. He recomended I add a Lingenfelter Cam. I am currently also running a Bassani X pipe and Borla Stingers. Having ridden and built my own Harleys' for 32 years and I know that straight through (drag pipes) cause a power loss. I know this doesn't really answer question but it's food for thought. :flag

Re: Question about high flow cats (Popclutch)
I'll let you know in a month or so. I have ordered the Random Technology cats and x-pipe combo to mate up to my TPIS headers and Corsa Touring exhaust. These are the new matrix construction cats that Random says has almost zero loss! I'll have to wait and see that. I have dyno'd at two different dynos with my present configuration so I should have a good baseline.
