    so to my understanding, the exhaust flow goes like this, right? headers, then downpipe with first cat, then midpipe with second cat, then catback exhaust... so if got headers that eliminated all cats then added one hi-flow cat right before the catback exhaust starts, what problems with the CEL...

    catback exhaust - worth it?

    Matching revs... with sportshift?!?
