RE: gains from going catted X to a O/R X???
it could be man, i'm not sure on the numbers concerning exhaust on blown applications, but I know that the numbers are WAY inflated as compared to N/A set ups..so maybe you get 8 from an o/r x n/a and 15-16?? (maybe?) on a blown set up?
or you could just totally be thinknig that it's faster/ got more power b/c of how much louder it is, but I think you are smarter than that

well you're blown racer, so you have a lot of exhaust to get out, and now that there are not cats, all that exhaust gets out a hell of a lot faster, which = more power...on a slightly stock set up, this probably wouldn't be so, but in your case, it seems to be

I agree with you. On a street application there isn't a big difference between the catted and O/R versions. Sometimes, too, the increased loudness makes you "feel" the car is quicker/faster. The real comparison would be at the track.
