depending on application you WILL NOT lose much power at all if you have a GOOD converter. I have made 600 plus to the wheels w/ them and alot of cars sound better with them in place. People that pick up horsepower w/ no converter is generally due to the cats being plugged. Good converters on a supercharged car will INCREASE the HP. I would advise him to leave the converter alone.There's the answer you were looking for. A really good high flow cat only becomes a significant restriction at ridiculous amounts of power and up. I grew up around the smell of unburnt gas so it's no cats for me. I love it. I said I love it.

Lose the cat., put in a test pipe. Chances are you'll melt the catalyst and end up with a plugged exhaust, if you're looking at a bigger turbo and most likely fueling adjustments.

press bent looks like a cambels soup can when its bent, all ripply and shit, mandrel looks like u would think a pipe bend should look, clean and somewhat uniform.
Yeah, it was very nicely done. It was NOT pressbent then. He said it was ~$200 less than he got quoted at SLS, but he got a discount. -

Well with an in house mandrel bender, you can move stuff quicker. But i guarentee that Nicks welds are better than the poop they do at exhaust pros. Spanish-Rice shoul dpost up a pic of his sweet downpipe they made him...
I wouldn't doubt it. He got what he paid for, but it was what he wanted. -

Yes, I know that, but its still just a 3" pipeNo where did I say it wasn't 3''. I simply stated it was "technically 2.5''" since the 3'' pressbent flows like 2.5'' Mandrel. This is irrelevant because we already came to the conclusion it was mandrel bent, therefore it is full 3''.
