Now what about with the connection pipes do they make a big difference?

yeah mine made a big difference !! it was mostly in my attitude. they PISSED me off to no end

i also have the magna cat back,and when i installed the hi-flo's i came accross a few issues.

first off, they made the entire exhaust system rub the underside of the car. i must have tried to adjust the entire system 10 times. with no success. its almost like the mid pipes are to long and might not have the correct bends, and it has everything in a bind under the car. the hotter they got, and the more the exhaust system expanded with the heat the more it would rub. anywhere from light throttle to heavy, all i got was a rubbing sound and vibration through the chassis. i could literally feel it through the floor.

second, is the cel light. which on mine didnt come until about 800 miles after they were installed. but,once its there its there. tried reseting the computer, but it came back. code p0420. it would stay on for a few weeks, go out for a day then come back. everytime someone new got in my ride they asked "why is the engine light on" then i would have to explain. that got old real fast, plus looking at that light all day long sucked. new car + cel = pissed off driver.

i finally got tired of these issues, and reinstalled my factory cats. and guess what NO RUBBING, NO CEL LIGHT

they say the diablo will fix the cel issue, but i know it wouldnt fix the rubbing problems.

now i have hi-flo's sitting in my garage collecting dust. at least i have no more issues.

Yeah i would go nuts from that rubbing sound right now, my left exhaust tip slight produces a rubbing sound on the outlet at 1500 rpms. Everytime someone gets in my car they ask me what the sound is. It gets old fast, i'd fix it but i welded my tig welded my exhaust up.

I've had mine on for 1 week and am very happy. I need to udjust the tips to center them better.
I had some rubbing and found that if I loosen the header to mid-pipes and tighten the bottom first it dropped enough to stop.

My car pulls like a bat out a hell!
