Yeah I am still on OEM cats, had one replaced recently under warranty because it "failed."

I want to invest in a set of RTP so open it up a little but control the sound, heard TP & my exhaust and it gets a little raspy.

That was the route that I was going to take until Tony @ FI said they wouldn't hold up under forced induction you will end up with all the packing coming put of the exhaust.

Really? Well that sucks, I was going to get a set of FI RTP, guess my only choice is TP then.

I've put a good amount of miles on my resonated test pipes and they are holding up fine.

Are you sure he wasn't talking about high flow cats? I know with cats you run the risk of clogging / blowing out the comb because of the ridiculously hot temperatures they reach.

Beautiful setup, great numbers.

No I talked to Tony @ FI he said eventually the packing will come out so you should just buy test pipes,I'm sure he is right b/c he was willing to sell me the cheaper test pipes instead of the more expensive RTP's.

Baer, did you have Z1 do your install of the GTM kit? I'm in NC and looking for someone close to do the Stage 1 or 1.5 on my NISMO.
