Will these cats have any interference with smog? I'm considering either this or the Greddy Evo exhaust ...

 

Bro get them both it isn't one or the other...
And they are emissions approved so no worries when it comes to inspection time

 

get both.

 

I don't think the procats will pass visual..

 

procats aren't carb approved in Cali........

You may pass emissions, but not the visual

 

what's the hp gains and price on the pro cats

 

advertised 15hp gain - $1100 shipped (excelerate authorized retailer and acurazine vendor)

 

On the base TL we have seen about 20whp and 15 ft lbs of tq.

 

So on base TL without a s/c, there will be noticeable gains, right?

 

I think it would be recommended to get Procats + exhaust at the same time, you'll probably get upwards of 30 whp.

 

Yes very noticeable. The Pro Cats, other than nitrous or F/I, are the best bolt on mod for hp gains.

 

ive had my procats for a 1 1/2 years 17k miles and let me just say this, i will tell you EXACTLY how i feel about them, if you really want to know how your $1000+ investment in these "procats" are going to treat you in the long run.

it all depends on how mike at e-shift performance handles things and it will give you an idea, of how the company that actually makes these things stand behind there product. he said he'd call me back in a week......we'll see if im left hanging or not =P

lets just say it didnt happened recently and im as patient as anybody can be, but i do have a threshold...

 

^^^I dont understand your post?

 

This just might be my next performance part, i really hope its worth it. Is the a sound difference? or will I only notice the gains in performance.

 

It sounds different as well, I have the mid muffler delete and magnaflow resonator w/ pro cats and it sounds very good

 

nice
thanks for the help
now i just need find an excuse for my parents to get these bad boys

 

LOL - Your PARENTS huh?

 

uh yeah im 17 i still live with my parents and i have no money, so.....

 

Is it possible for you to furnish me with a Dyno chart, with these results?

 

not really a dyno chart.

But here is a video of my dyno with AEM CAI, UR Underdrive Crank Pulley, Pro-Cats, Comptech exhaust.

I don't have a base dyno, but most base dynos from 5AT have been around 204-210hp to the wheel and 194-198 torque.

keeping that in mind, I pulled a 246 whp and 211 trq on a 80 degree day.

246hp/211lbs tq... NICE BRO... DAYUM

 

what's the difference between base/mustang/dyno jet(or w/e it's called)??

nice #'s man.

 

base dyno refers to a dyno numbers when stock.


mustang dyno, dynojet, dyno pack, etc... are different types of dyno machines. they all read a little differently
