race pipe and intake question? help ...late x-mas shooping...
1st I been researching some information on a midpipe or racepipe... and the most i read Im getting a bit confused... like for example RP has a midpipe that has a straight cat or high flow cat and race pipe has no cat... now what is the difference if i go to a muffler shop and tell him to run a straight pipe from the headers to cat back would that be the same
2nd would i be getting a CEL
3rd i am looking for a intake? so far i like the k&n but i remember there was issues with old version of it any problems with this one?
and is there a better one and around same prize
where is the best place to order any of this parts...or actually the cheapest

If you ran a pipe from the manifold (or header if you put one on) that would be the same as a test pipe. It would be loud, illegal on public roads, you would get a cel (either lit or not, it would be stored) and give you the most chance for >hp. make sure they weld in a oxy sensor bung. Despite some threads to the contrary, there is no fix. Do a search for why, but it basically is because the ecu tests the cat function by fluttering the afr. No standalone fooler can fool that.
