Grassroots Motorsports magazine tested this...there was maybe 1hp gain by not using a cat.

I'm pretty sure the sound alone outweighs the 1HP gain from no Cat. I know what its like running catless on a V8 engine and good god.... I can't imagine it on this engine.

A fine honeycomb is used on alot of cars as an air straightener before the MAF and in computers to aid air velocity for cooling. It might not hurt flow nearly as much as you think.

Yes and no. It really didn't make it any louder. Mostly just added some grunt to it.

That link doesn't take me to the video for some reason. I'd really like to hear this. I have the Q300 too.

Yes. I had to raise it about 2 or 3 inches.

I am going to have to get this installed professionally as I havnt a clue. The purchase of this product may change my mind if I learn the install cost is as much as the product!

Someone wanna help install for a good price? I live in Boston, Ma.

if it does, you need a new mechanic.

It took me an extra 10-15 minutes maybe to lift the motor in my driveway on my back with the car on jackstands.

I agree an extra 10-15 minutes at the most.

Very simple to do. Remove the nut or bolt (I forget which it is) for the engine mount, put a piece of wood on your jack and jack up the oil pan a couple inches, install new overpipe/dp, release the jack, and re-torque the engine mount nut or bolt. I found the torque spec in here somewhere so you should find it with a search. That's it.
