Hi-flow Cat
Has anyone bought/installed one of these?

If so, did it net any gains, better sound, etc?

A replacement cat is listed at almost $1400.
Thats a big discrepancy for a stock and a after market part. There may be a million reasons for it, but I feel like this does throw up a red flag.

This the product description "OBDII EPA and CARB approved high flow catalytic converter assembly". So it is a high-flow cat. Also it can be had for 225.25 after the 15% discount.
I was just wondering if something like this would show gains. Has anyone with a CL ever dynoed with R/T cat?

yes it shud be but i think u might need some custom work for it to fit. nothin a muffler shop cant handle. How loud is the muffler with the RT, i guess one could just run a straight pipe there if it wont confuse or mess up ur o2 sensors.
