TimB Member 10 Member For: 12y 4m 8d Posted 05/06/12 12:53 AM Share Posted 05/06/12 12:53 AM Hi Guys,Im new to this forum, just recently purchased an 05 BA MkII XR6T, I dont want to do any major mods to it, but I do want to get a growler CAI to get it breathing better and add a little more power, my friend reckons I will be wasting my time doing this if I dont have the standard cat converter removed, is this true? I have read about hi-flow cats on this site, but was also wondering if you can just have the cat removed and replaced with straight pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If doing that you should do other mods like cooler and intake at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The induction sound is a lot more noticable compared to the F6 snorkel. Performance wise I don't notice much difference to the F6 snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Member 10 Member For: 12y 4m 8d Posted 05/06/12 02:54 AM Author Share Posted 05/06/12 02:54 AM I have no idea what the OP is. Basically, I dont want to spend lots of money, but found I could do the CAI with a growler for around $500, seems like a cheap and easy mod to me, my concerns were that if I didn't replace the cat converter with a hi-flow cat it would be pointless doing the growler.
