Go with the Cats. The ones that come with the Mac Prochamber are Hi Flows. If anything the difference is less then 5hp.

ok, so i cant decide, O/R or catted mac prochamber? i really would like to do the O/R Setup..... but im worried about 2 things.
1. the po po giving me **** for loud exhaust and trying to pass emmisions every year
2. loss of torque due to loss of backpressure (which is the performance gains you really feel)

the catted is soo much more expensive, and i was wondering how much of a difference there would be between the two?

It's a pretty simple answer.. o/r pipes are a little better flowing so you get a little louder sound and a couple of extra hp.. but it's really not that big of a difference.. I am running an o/r x-pipe but I'm in Florida so we have no testing here. basically.. if you don't have testing you can go o/r but if you do have to pass emissions testing.. just go with a high flow cat.. you'll never know the difference and it'll save you the headache of having to change your midpipe ever inspection time.

If you live in Texas then its fairly easy to find a shop that will pass your car for cash, you just have to look a little.

go o/r... it'll make your car sound nice and MEANNN... as for inspection, pay someone to pass you.. i pay some guy at the gas station 100$ each time to pass me for my tints, and exhaust, then again hes the same guy who INSTALLED my exhuast for me.. hes a good man! good luck!
