catted downpipes vs non catted

I saw the power differences on the site just didn't know the difference from catted to none. Thanks for the help guys, I think I still with what I got its just time for the cat back which I think I'm going to go with full race setup without the resonator to hopefully get a little more of the turbo noise. Thoughts or does anyone have this combo?

So 4" has more turbo whistle but sounds like s***? Here's the thing, idle-4000 rpm a good 4" will sound better than any 3" exhaust. Fuller and deeper. Over 4000 the rasp will show up on a 4". Some are more raspy than others. So 4" is good for some and 3" is good for others. Also there is a difference between interior resonance and interior exhaust volume. If you remove the resonator, volume will increase. Good luck.

Installed my Kooks down pipe this afternoon. Very small increase in exhaust note at WOT, which was what I'm after and little increase in torque down low. I measured torque increase but the amount of wheel hop I'm getting where I didn't have any before.

Mines still a little too loud in the cab. I bought the corsa because it supposedly knocks that interior resonance down. Well, it may do that but the interior sound is still up. Thanks for the compliments. Do you have any vids of yours?
