I'm pretty sure this includes shipping of parts, the purchase of 2 additional Hi-Flow CATs, custom install of the O2 sensors, labor to install headers and finally Dynos...

The Exhaust & Headers alone go for $2,900..

FREE!??! Before and after dyno testing? Sounds good to me.

Thanks again for all the great feedback. Feel free to give us a call for any questions concerning pricing or installation.

59 RWHP is a helluva gain for N/A with a few boltons. Also, it was 5k with the addition of highflow cats. Most opt not to do this. I think of it in these terms: More than 1/2 second quicker in the 1/4 mile for 5k in a 60k car isn't bad at all.

Just curious, what is people's experience with cats vs no cats?

Power? Sound? Emissions?

Trying to plan ahead, that's all

The power is better... there is a thread that explains it perfectly on lexusfforum.com The sound is great, kills all drone for daily driving and passes all emissions tests you're going to throw at it

Power better with an exhaust restriction? Doubt it. Equal? Could be if done right, but no way better.

If I were doing this, I'd definitely do it with Random Tech cats. I think it's irresponsible to squeeze a couple of horsepower and pollute as much as cat-less cars do because you want the last mile of performance on your street driven car. Racecar? All bets are off. Street car? Think about the impact on the rest of the world, not just your ego.

This is definitely the way I will go when I finally pull the trigger on headers/exhaust. I'm not comfortable without cats on a street car either.
