Florida,
I got my 3 inch Corsa and Roe Hiflow cats installed. The inside tempatures dropped a lot so the A/C seems stronger. Also it seems like my temperature gauge reads that the engine is running a little cooler? Is this possible? I like the sound much better.( A little like an inboard boat engine) The next stop will be the Dyno? I will bring my cry rag for the disappointing horsepower gains and post them.

Well I was going to put the Hi flow but decided not to have the cats. my car dyned at different dyno 430HP and 468TQ with K&N and Corsa. After I took out the cats I dynoed 424HP and 460TQ but I did not have the sims and the car run VERY REACH. After I installed the sims this did not change and the car continued to run FAT. Next I got Sean's VEC1 and the car run great with 437HP and 480TQ. After playing on the dyno I found out that I could get more power from VEC by just test driving. Now I think that my car should be over 440HP easy

My car Dyno at 425HP without the Corsa and the Hi flow cats. So after the install if it Dyno's less my only recourse will be, 5 gallons of gas and a big match!
On the other hand I like the sound so hopefully the supercharger on order will make up the power difference and a little laughing gas (for insurance). What ever the outcome is I will post it here for comparison.
Being Bi polar I hope that the Corsa ad is close!

Just an FYI in case you didn't know this already.
Viper's with a 3.55 rear gear show 12 to 15 less rear wheel HP on a chassis dyno than those with the stock 3.07 gear. If you do a gear and exhaust at the same time, you will not get accurate results of the exhaust change.

Did you go with the oval or round cats? I assume 3 inch.

J Smith,
I put on the 3 inch Corsa but to be honest I can not remember which Hi Flow cat I put on. I looked at a lot of them before choosing. You could call (email) Sean Roe and ask him. But what I do know is it cut the inside heat by what feels like 80%. In Florida I could go out with a beautiful girl and by the end of the date she would look like Alice Cooper (makeup running from the heat). I would have to pull over so she could tighten up every 15 minutes. I was ready to put a window unit in on the passenger side. Not any more! Plus the new sound makes it fun to drive! Dyno number soon.??
