exhaust question

I have deleted the muffler on my factory exhaust. I am planning on deleting the cat as well.


How much more flow would I get if I had a straight piped 4" turbo back exhaust over just straight piping my factory exhaust?


thanks for any responses.

I would try a CAT delete pipe first. I put a gutted CAT on mine along with my muffler delete and I really do not like the sound. The muffler delete by itself sounds great, without the guts in the CAT it sounds like a fart can.

I dont think you will notice any power difference but a 4" turbo back will lower your EGT's considerably. That is pretty important if you are running a tuner.
