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.
