I fortunately live in a state where there is no inspections. I also repalced the "other Cat with a High Flow Cat. When I am going to sell the car I will bolt on the stock Cats back.

It's kinda silly to argue the points of said systems when there are so few in members hands at this point anyways. I have a lot of faith in Vortech/Perrin but just because they have been around a long time doesn't guarantee a supreme product. That's what you like and so be it but leave the rest of us alone to make our decisions. If you don't like silicone piping thats fine but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the AVO kit customers. Somebody mentioned vortech not bead rolling their pipes, that seems like it would be something i'd want also but i'm sure they have their reasons.
My point is this, no point in trash talking other companies products that aren't out yet just because you don't like the design. There are plenty of options for every budget and goal and we should all be grateful. This should settle a lot also Quote:

Dont get into a pissing contest where its made.
Nothing wrong with Asia , just cheap labour and cheap knock offs. Most of Americas stuff comes from there anyway. And if you tear it apart ild be very confident not all of it is USA sourced................. FARK you even better hand the car back as its not made in America. Dont be a tool |

It can only be done by Hachiroku, but I don't know exactly how it escalated up to that. I am sure it was posts being reported.
(I don't think its forever though...)

Vortech claimed 280hp on the tyre @ 6psi on their facebook page, at least I am guessing they meant the tyre. Hmm second thoughts maybe it was 280hp at engine .........

Yeah that was more than likely Hachi, but it's probably a temp ban since we can still see him. That's off topic though.
I kind of like this kit because it'll keep the stock power band character only amplified. I love me some torque down low though... |

Perm ban. No reports that I saw. Hachi was just watching him or maybe got a pm.
