I agree with everyone. Either weld in some cats or switch mufflers. I take it these are SLP 1's?

I wouldnt put flows back in with an o/r x. I had it. While I liked it, it sounded like a whole audience clapping at a concert.

Which reminds me...I need another o/r x.

I think they're referring to some high flow cats...not the stock ones.

I ran the slp lm1 on one of my vehicles for a month also I got my moneys worth back out of it after I took it off and sold it on craigslist. It was just obnoxious. Cats may clean the sound up or put the flows back on and sell those resonators. that being said when I had the 40flows on my o/r x setup between 2000-2500rpm I hated it but after i welded in high flow cats and went with 10flows the sound cleaned up.
