I have a 2.25 hi flow catalytic converter that I am getting ready to put on, but my question is this. Right now I am not using a converter, they just put a resonator in. If I put the hi flow on will I lose power or gain? Also what about if I get the RK sport O2 sensor thing that is for running without the converter? Please let me kno
most usually gain....especially those not boosted...

as long as you are runnign straight through stuff, you shouldnt have a problem.
and seriously, read the article... i know i posted this in the FAQ.... alot of the things people ask here can already be answered if they would simply take 5-10 minutes and read something rather than waiting till a problem occurs and then being clueless on it.
unless you are boosted you really have no reason to run without a converter... performance wise really.
exactly what event said. you are better off running the high flow cat than just a resonator. now, if you had a turbo or supercharger, it'd do very well with that decrease in backpressure, however, you need your low end torque so definitely. use the cat.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
