The only possible reason I canthink of that causing torque loss is loss of back pressure, and even then I dont think that it would be enough to lose torque numbers, if anything the engine would breath better.
It doesnt really smell all that much different if your car isnt running rich to begin with.. I had one made up when I was getting my piping done, its fun if you like loud.. its uber loud.

magnaflow cats = :thumbup:
I am running one right now, I love it
I can see how you can lose torque lowend in one perspective, but it wouldnt even be noticable imo.. I dont know , id be interested in seeing a dyno of the differences between the two, cat and no cat.

so i was deciding on tires for my steelies, change front brakes, finish my tint, remote keyless entry, amber corners/bumper lights or finish my exhaust.
i think im gonna go with exhaust, amber lights and my alarm.
