Have you removed fuse 22? If so, do you notice a bigger difference with the fuse On/Off? I'm thinking that it might be nice to put a remote switch and then be able to toggle between quiet and loud mode with the new cats.

If I get tired of the loudness of the exhaust I might buy the quiet RSC rear Muffler.

But I felt I nice difference in throttle response and speed.

Maybe tonight or tomorrow I will post dyno results.
Hi RPV-
Can you post the dyno results with the addition of the 200 cell cats? Did you do a dyno prior?

When you replace the cats, do you have to get the ECU re-mapped? Do you get the "Exhaust system service" anc CEL codes pop up?

I am thinking of getting the 200 cell cats paired with the factory exhaust.

You don't need to do any further work to the car other than install the parts.

NOTE: The "emissions system service" light will pop up more often with the stock cats than with the RSC.

I only tested the car after the install.
