Arrow COMPTECH CATALYTIC CONVERTER (Dyno?)

Does anyone have a "COMPTECH CATALYTIC CONVERTER" dyno'ed? I'd like to see the sheet, hear some comments about the sound and performance.

Thanks-

I would imagine it to be less than a testpipe.

Test pipe is GREAT but the stinky smell and big fines scares me

This is probably the Comptech Test Pipe. The "Off Road Use Only" means that it does not comply with emissions regulations.

I've never seen the inside...but I thought it serves as a test pipe, but there appears to be more to it, not a 100% on that though.

Comptech makes both a hi-flow CAT and a test pipe. The test pipe requires the CEL eliminator, unless you don't mind seeing the light.

I have the Comptech pipe - sounds great with their exhaust and header. I heard a car that was setup with the Comptech exhaust, header and high-flow CAT and I really couldn't tell the difference in sound from mine. Shad at Comptech would disagree though.

I went with the test pipe because Shad said the hi-flow CAT was not recommended for use with their supercharger. I don't have one yet, and may or may not go that route, but wanted to keep the door open.

Comptech has a weird habit of not posting all their products on their site. Download the catalog and you'll find more parts than on the site.
