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

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

Idk everyone is just making it out as a big deal I suppose ill go with the cat depending on if I buy a dif exhaust setup or keep my obx catback that came on the car.

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

Well I want the nicest sound I can try getting with the parts I wanna go with which is the megan racing 4-2-1 Header,Prob A Magnaflow cat or glasspack might be a good idea I like how they sound,and hopefully maybe get rsr catback once i pull of the obx catback and the other stuff on the lude i need to sell.

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..

Yes test pipes on ludes sound so raspy and nasty go with a high flow like everyone on PZ told you
