I totally believe what you say, however here is my delima...
$559.00 (RT Cats) vs. $189.99 (Kinetix Test Pipes)
That's a difference of $370!
If it's not that much of a difference, I'd rather save the $370 and apply it toward my "exhaust fund".

something is not right if your CEL comes on every few hundred miles. MANY others have never had their lights come on, after thousands of miles of driving. I have heard of a couple people having their lights come on, then either go off by themselves or they are reset and never come back on.
Also you can reset your ECU yourself, it is a tricky little process but it is posted on the board here somewhere.

Hmmmm.. I got the $599 price from www.mynismo.com. $500 is definitely better... but still not as good as $189.

test pipes smell bad - especially to cops in cali...
you wont pass emissions so plan on getting under your car and putting your stock cats on...
rt cats make power across the board equally...
but its up to you...

Go it
Yeah, I know that I'd definitely have to throw the stock cats back on for smog checks for sure. Maybe I'll get the High flow cats instead so that I won't have to crawl under the car more than once.
Are cats relatively easy to install yourself at home with the car on ramps?

much easier if you have a long socket extension to go in from the top of the engine bay.
