Default Re: CFM Dyno Test: SVT Stock Cat vs. Offroad Pipe vs. High Flow Cat

Quote:
The ORP gives you more daily driving power whereas the cat gives you more 1/4 mile power. It's all subjective based on what you are trying to accomplish.
I that you have that backward...unless you always shift at redline. The lower RPM TQ would make for better daily driving. You will have to rev less to get the quicker acceleration. Overall, both are geat upgrades though.
If you install an exhaust cam gear, and dyno tune the car; you can dial in that TQ lost in the low rpm, however you will sacrifice a bit of high end HP.
