Has anyone with the Sharkwerks exhaust also replaced their stock cats? I'm having my Sharkwerks exhaust installed this Friday....

 

Replaced with what: decat pipes? 100/200 cell cats? I assume you are getting the Sharkwerks muffler delete pipes.

 

Correct that is the exhaust I'm getting. Wanted to know if anyone has that exhaust and also changed the OEM cats

 

I have stock cats with my SW exhaust.
I would only consider 100/200 cell cats if/when I add a "tune" to the car.

 

looking at the same thing once I tune, I just don't want something that is too loud and annoying...

 

You will enjoy the extra sound the SW gives you with stock cats. Definitely not to loud or annoying..... Subjective assessment, I know!

An added bonus is it eliminated the VERY annoying drone at hwy speed I had with the stock system.

 

can't wait! do you know of any claimed HP gains from the SW exhaust, I know the clubsport from EVOMS claims 24hp and ~18lb./ft. tq (exhaust only - stock catalysts)?

 

Alex "Sharky" Ross stated to me, 15-20hp gain, but I honestly didn't notice anything other than the welcome sound increase!

 

thanks, mine gets installed tomorrow, I will let you know what I think.

 

Do they offer a resonated system? Probably could get away with catless without the drone then.

 

Make sure the installers remove your rear bumper.
It's 100X easier with it removed... despite what the instructions say!!

Bet you like it!

 

Have to wait until Monday for the install, they didn't have enough "time" today...

 

Roger that guys... I know people don't like taking the bumper off but it really does make the installation sooooo much easier with more room

rear spoiler or taillights need to come off for install?
