99% of the cars on this Forum can't outflow a hi-flow cat. Which is why I put a new one on my SSEi last week. And my car flows an incredible amount of exhaust with a 2.0" pulley on it.
The law here is the same as in the states. & the reason I asked is because I have the same problem with mine, its clogged & rattling. I dont want to spend the money right now since this is a project car that sits in the garage most of the time... guess that a straight pipe is better than a clogged cat, for now.
& thanks for the info.

A straight pipe is NOT the best thing for your car in either circumstance.

And now we have yet another believer. Running catless costs you low-end torque.

It'* all about back pressure.

Too large of an exhaust
Too free flowing..

One must flow enough to use such mods.
