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



CONCLUSION: If you have the extra cash to spend then get our high flow cat pipe, give up very little power, produce cleaner emissions and make a lot less noise!

We have about 3 more high flow cat pipes available for our first batch. Our next batch will not be ready for another 6-8 weeks. Order link: http://focus.c-f-m.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1125&dc=focal jet

BTW, the current introductory price will go up June 1, 2006. Place your order today! Orders can be cancelled if product has not been shipped so place your order and lock in the lower price.

Now correct me if im wrong... but it looks to me like the high flow cat is actually putting out more power than the ORP?

According to their dyno sheet it is, unless they mis-labeled the colors, but I don't think they did.

It had less power then ORP at lower rpms. It gained the advantage at top end power

^^True. 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. Either an ORP or the cat would be a good choice I guess.

Were there any other mods to the test car? What is the construction, looks to be Stainless steel? Sorry for the Q's, looks to be a nice peice, and those are some nice numbers.

It does in a few small places but overall the ORP offers higher gains.

The car has our prototype induction system. It is stainless.

Do you think you could post up some video or an audio file so we could hear what it sounds like?

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.

I don't think it's worth it for 1 hp and 1 ft/lb of torque. It goes to show you that the stock SVT header is already pretty damn good. You really can't make it much better.

I don't think its not worth it. That dyno shows almost 6 pounds of torque and almost 11 hp difference between 3-4 k rpm. For around 3 bills, that not a bad gain. I think thats worth it, not to mention the bad ass note you'll get out the tail pipes.

Now the big question, will I pass a NJ state inspection? I am due for reinspection this month....i think you should send me one to test if its NJ Carb legal!!!!!

Why do some people ONLY look at peak numbers? You sir, are an idiot. The gains between 3k and 5k are HUGE.

Looks like in addition to the intake, that SVT had somebody or other's tune on it, judging from the overall profile and bump at 5K (as opposed to the hole at that speed with a regular SVT factory tune) - true? Can you confirm?

Looks like a very useful boost in torque from 2.5k up to 5.5k. That's exactly where it's needed. Especially good where I spend most of my daily-driving time - between 2.5k and 4.5k.

i forgot they mentioned a protoype induction system as well. CAI, SRI. Header?? That would also help those big numbers between 2.5k and 4k. Whats the prototype of, and have you dynoed it agains stock parts?

Damn.....I want one now!

That's the first performance mod I've seen that I actually WANT that's fairly affordable!

Great job CFM!
