I'm thinking about ordering them tomorrow and wanted to get some input...what time of power gains are you guys seeing (I have a Gibson catback right now that I would connect this to)

How do you like the sound?

Let me know and thanks...

I was interested until I saw "cutting and welding is required on drivers side manifold" at the bottom lol

Lol...yeah, that's always a turn off, but there really is no other way to get those cats removed on that side without that happening. My shop can easily do that, no big deal...just wondering what type of gains people are seeing, how much smell you get and overall sound...

Have them on mine, and couldn't be happier.

Can't help the cut and weld. It's pretty damn easy to be completely honest.

ya I guess I would be curious to hear it as well and see the gains.. I just put the MBRP Race cat back on my car though and it has drone between 1500-2000 rpms' on the hwy and I REALLY doubt that these would help any of that lol. I wouldn't be afraid of the cutting and welding, I just don't have either of those tools at my disposal at the moment.

Awesome. How were the gains? Lund will update my tune accordingly but just wondering what you saw.

 

[BMR Tech]

No clue. Been waiting on a tune since October.

got ya...I just chatted with lund and my current tune will be fine with this mod. I plan on hitting the dyno soon and will post results.

you would but your over 1/3 of the cost of 304 stainless headers, and can go back to stock easily

had these installed on Thursday...one side is very simple (4 bolts and a few 02 sensors)...the other side required some minor cutting/welding which my shop did in less than an hour...looks great and sounds INCREDIBLE! It is very loud compared to the cat back I had previously...

It feels like it gained a good amount of power...i'd guess in the 15-20RWHP range...I won't know until this coming week, as I was not able to make it on the dyno that day.

Seeing as full length headers are worth 25his hp, I'd say your sorely mistaken sound for power

Subbed for dyno results

My 12 Boss and 14 5.0 both gained 18 RWHP with cat deletes...just saying.

Saying cat delete is only good for sound is pretty funny. My 14 auto was going 117 in 1/4 with just cat delete and $50 tune. Been looking at the cat delete for 15

 

[Need4Speed03]

I'm sure results would be similar to the 11-14 cars...which I seen 2 tenths on a timeslip with cat deletes on my 12.

getting her dyno'd tomorrow at 11AM...will report back shortly after...thanks gang

 

[ArabianOak]

Just got off the dyno...

The car made 426RWHP and 402RWTQ!!! A gain of 13RWHP and 16RWTQ from the MAK cat deletes! I am very impressed and was right on with my butt dyno! lol. Keep in mind I bought the factory connect cat deletes which means there is still a few inch bottleneck at the factory connect, so there may indeed be a few more HP to gain from a full connect system.

I will post video and dyno graph later. Very happy with results!

 

[BMR Tech]

Woot!

 

[cbrtrx]

Yes I had cat deletes first, noticeable gains. When I put on long tubes I didnt notice much of a difference from the cat deletes.

 

[Chameleon76]

Wooo! Nice numbers
