Yea I think she said that on purpose though, because she was curious to feel the car under full acceleration.

I am pretty protective of my cousins, so she was getting tired of me driving like an old man.....lol.

not sure where you are getting Low cats from. lol High Flow cats are just that, catallytic converters that allow exhaust to flow at a higher rate. The stock cats restrict exhaust flow more.

Longtubes will give you a little more horsepower and torque compared to the shorty but the longtubes we have are tending to throw a check engine light code. The setup we have has 4 Oxygen sensors(O2 sensors). There is one in front of the cats and one behind the cats. The code is due to the high flow cats are increasing the flow rate and the rear O2 sensors are reading a problem that isn't there due to the flow increase. The one way found to get rid of the CEL code on our cars everytime has been to get it tuned. It's a big pill to swallow without much gains to be had other than to get rid of the little light in the dash.

Any best practice you can share, anything you would have done differently to install?

How do you like the cherry bomb catback? Is it the v6 or v8 version? I've got the v8 and BBK's and also the K/N typhoon. I lived with the light for about 2-months then decided I was going to step it up and go with nitrous so I got the tune. Track was supposed to open Friday but they've changed their schedule and for the month of Feb they're not running Fridays but Sundays instead. Why would you schedule it to open on Daytona 500 Sunday?
exact same set up, minus the BBK(undecided). The CBs are settling in, making a nice rumbling sound now. Also looking into short headers(avoid this CEL problem)..
