is there a down side the not running a cat other than the emmisions laws.
i herd it could let ur engen run lean?
i want to run it on stock svt exhaust. i was considering a high flow cat but i might as well go for broke and just use the race pipe.

Loud and stinky with the ORP!
I have run both, and only because my hi-flow cat cracked and I definitely prefer to have the cat in place. If I was planning to use it as a track only car then I would put up with the loudness and the smell. My clothes would smell like exhaust fumes after driving with the ORP. It is super loud and ricey sounding at WOT.
Whatever gains there are with the less restrictive ORP are hardly ever utilized because I try to avoid driving at wide open throttle just to keep the noise down.

A guy called Domonic makes these, he is on FJ and FF. Does some very nice welding. I can't say I lost any performance. As for noise its still a little raspy when its cold, but as soon as it warms up to operating temp it is a very nice sounding exhaust note.
He has his HFC on ebay:

Wow thats a crazy price...
Get one of these. Same one I bought and get a good shop to install what you want. Same noise I asume. Raspy at cold start up and improves the sounds when warmer. This part number is used on Farrari and Masarati. Sounds great.
Lil loud but not as much as running with nothing. Plus you can run clean too.

That won't fit on SVT's... the clearance is an issue under the oil pan.
A Full Cat Back isn't going to include a Catalytic, my list price on the catalytic when I was looking was about $180 just for the cat, then I had to fab up and weld it in. It worked out a little more expensive but it was just a 10 minute job to install it.

Yes I know a cat back doesn't include that actual Cat but for all that trouble i say scrap the cat and run a straight pipe.

I only have the HFC pictured above. You could make a race pipe sound better by adding a larger resonator, but that just means more work to do.
