I don't have the supercharger, but I feel that the pro-cats were worth the money.

I think there was one member, possibly two, who had his front OEM cat deteriorate. It is due to the rich conditions. The Pro Cats, altough a high qualty high flow cat, will eventually deteriorate under the same conditions. These guys have to lean out their A/F ratios b/c that will break down the cat over time.

Absolutely. There are great power gains to be had. And the OEM cats cost about $1000. So you might as well replace them with higher flowing cats and get the few extra HP. The cats on a N/A TL make about 20whp and on a S/Ced TL about 12whp. Torque ranges around 12-17ft/lbs.

I am s/c and got 21 whp and 16ft/lbs from the procats. I believe bkylnpanman got 12 whp. I am not sure what other s/c TL's have gotten from theirs. IMHO, they are worth every penny. Although, I got them during the initial groupbuy so the price was a little bit less than they are now.
