You by chance plugged your Predator in to see if it is throwing any O2 sensor codes out with the new cats?
No, I thought if there was a problem the CEL would come on? Even though I live in Florida (no emissions test) I want to keep this car legal for a while and I thought with the hi-flow cats the emissions were still OK?

Yeah thats kind of what I meant, like if you say already did an axleback exhuast, those mufflers are louder than stock already, removing the cat's altogether will pretty much take away any sound deadening there is. I personally plan to do headers into x pipe w/high flow cats and an axleback.
Yeah, I would like a MAC axle-back but that might make it too loud for my tastes right now and I don't really like the 4" rolled tips look so I'm still undecided but they're growing on me.

Thats a hell of Sig you've got!!

Edit: BTW, I still don't understand, how do you get an avatar, I tried to make my pictures small in the photo shop but they're still too big?

I believe I have read people having O2 sensor codes being thrown without the CEL coming on. As for still being legal, it certainly should be.

Avatars have to be small... really small... like 10kb or less (something like that). Keep shrinking...

Personally, I think the PowerFlos sound awesome, and I doubt if you would be disappointed. The burnout video is a pretty good example of their sound.

Sounded like someone was yelling in the back ground, I couldn't hear the exhaust[sm=joke.gif] They sound good, race carish. As for the avatars, I shrunk my pictures as much as possible in my photo shop and they still wouldn't upload. Oh well, I guess it's more mysterious this way.

Questions for all. Wouldn't shorties still give a little stronger note coming off your exhaust? What hp would one find on with just adding shorties if any? I have the Roush cat back system,does anyone know of this set-ups performance compared to others? Thanks for any help.

I dont think ive heard of anyone buying different exhaust combinations for their stang and getting them dyno tested, so its tough to say whether one set up will perform better than another. The only thing you could compare is like shorty vs long tube headers, or h pipe vs x pipe, high flow cats vs no cats, mufflers vs no mufflers, that type of thing. I am pretty sure everyone is using mandrel bends and the piping diameters on the aftermarket stuff seems to be the same too. The only difference from one brand too another would be sound, durability and/or finished look, and maybe weight.
