if you want it to be loud, buy a test pipe.

you want it to sound good, buy a high flow cat.

I used a glass pack to replace my cat. It was high flow, and mellowed the sound alot.

Test pipes sound like ass. High flows are MUCH better for n/a builds.

My HKS catback sounded amazing on my last car...until I put the test pipe on..
