xlr8 highflow cat
..im about to redo my exhaust on my CL just wanted to know what you guys think about dropping $300 on the xlr8 highflow cat. Im going to go with Magnaflow mufflers, magnaflow 14" resonator, and 2.5" piping from the catback. I just want to know if it will alter the exhaust note significantly or if it will be about the same without it.
thanks
thanks

Whats up with RDX owners?

If you want an easy bolt in affair, go for it. If you want to save some money, get a universal 2.5" at and weld that in instead.

Thanks fellas. So there isn't any difference between this xlr8 and any other highflow except the fact its bolt on. What about the magnaflow universal "race only" cat?

I have ct icebox, headers, mufflers and xlr8 cat and to me it is really quiet not much difference over stock but maybe that is just me. Only thing that i would say is annoying is the slight drone i get only at 2k rpm.

it went from being a loud ricey drone without it to a nice subtle tone with the resonator. nva-av6 ordered it for me when he did my exhaust i would have to check with him on the size.

but would i do it again, probably not, i would just go the more universial route (and shit it still needs a defouler to keep the ecu happy)(then also you got to find new gaskets [since the stock ones are a little small btw], since they are not included either

btw i would keep the stock cat especially if you got to pass emissions like i do here (mines in the closet/storage outside)
and to tell you the truth as fuzzy said, i would also be willing to sell you mine (PM me an offer); basically so i could go the universial route

you are also S/C'd though, which does not help the matter at all (since you are moving more air to start with anyways)

what do you guys think about if i was just to keep the stock piping and just get the universal cat, resonator, and mufflers welded in. Instead of all new piping. Im not really looking for alot of power, just want an aggressive exhaust note and plus it would save some money.

high flow cats are going to be quieter then a test pipe, but then again you could also always put a resonater in place of the stock cat to help keep the noise down some

High flow cats shouldn't alter the exhaust note that much. It will increase flow so the exhaust will get a little louder. Keep in mind this is a 300 cell metallic core as opposed to a 1200 cell ceramic core. The flow is significantly better and the outlet and inlet are also much larger.

since universal seems the way to go out of these two would you all suggest?

- http://www.hottexhaust.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=59926
also would i need a defouler for these or no?
