Solo high flow cats

I just put on mrt v2 exhaust system. Looking at solo high flow cats. Are they worth it? Will make a difference it sound?

Oh yeah. You will get a lot more sound and they will free up some power.

Yes, what was just said...about 15-20% louder and deeper (according to Solo). I have them on my car and love them. It sounds awesome and I can feel the power now in the car, unlike before. To me it is worth it. They are having a group buy on the High Flow Cats right now 15% off I believe....go to the vendor section v6 bolt ons...

They are a killer alternative to long tube headers. Best part is you won't require a tune either.

I have the MRT V2.0 exhaust also. I have purchased a set. I tried to install last Friday but I started on the passenger side since it looked the toughest. I was unable to get it done due to tight access to the nuts on that side, seem to be missing some tools also. I am hoping to try again this weekend. There is a group buy on right now for 15% off up front no waiting for the group buy to end but it only last until the 31st. One of the reasons I bought them is we can't do headers on the LFX engine and these are supposed to add another 15 HP. Supposed to make the exhaust note deeper and a little louder. Can't wait myself.

You are right, the passenger side is toughest. I had to lower the car down from the lift and reach some of the bolts/studs from the top side of the car and some from underneath.
