Default Question on stillen blower

I am not very familiar with how exhaust back preassure work on a supercharger but stillen says if I do there supercharger kit I have to take my testpipes off and put my stock cats back on. He says it will run to much boost.

you wont have enough back pressure with the test pipes and run less horsepower.

stillens are optimized for stock cats and stock exhaust

You could avoid the confusion by not looking into the biggest FI waste of $$$$ offered for these cars....

Make sure you think about what you want out of the car, the Stillen is by far the least bang for the buck but it does sound cool.
