    Since it removes the cats .. I say don't .. You will lose so much power. This is what happened to me.

    Just to clarify though, you said you're buying section two ? So how come he's saying that it removes ur section one ?? Something is fishy.. section two doesn't remove section one.. Send him back an email asking him about this .. Tell him you only want to replace the H-pipe section..

          So I got a reply from Turner motorsports and they confirm that the CATs will be deleted.

          Ayham, you have a section 2 on ur ///M right? and i believe yours is Euro spec too... are your CATs deleted?

              Theres nothing wrong with removing the cats, as long as there aren't any O2S or AFS in it or after it. Ayham ?

              If you loose the cats, you'll get better throttle response and a couple of free'd up horses up in the rev range but you will sacrifice torque. Beware, you will get alot more rasp.

              If you have the "cat-back" wich includes section 2 and muffler, then section 1 has to remove the cats. If you can live with even less torque but more horsepower then, section 1 + pulleys + tune is a good way to go, and the tune should bump up torque too. Or just do the tune and pulleys without the exhaust mod.

                O2 sensor will be replaced where they are with a cat. But must tune...

                    aite.... thnx for the feedback...

                    decided to stick with the catbacks, pulleys and tune...

                    will keep section 1 and 2 stock and retain CATs...

                    Cheers!
