You are going to lose almost 1 lb of boost in the actual cylinder from using test pipes so you'd probably get back 20 whp from going back to stock cats (though I see you are on an upgraded blower which we have not tested). There is a chance with the upgraded blower the boost would be too high in the cylinders but I couldn't not say without testing.

@Nism0 If you are piecing parts together for the kit, might as well go with some 725-750cc injectors.
i have the stillen cats on now, the best bet would be to go OEM cats then? this means i will lose HP and TQ correct? and the exhaust will be quieter?
