Lets go back to Post #1, I clearly stated what the setup would be (see below).
Now you are talking about putting brand new stock CATS back on for a fair test.
Why would I want to purposely restrict the exhaust flow? The facts were presented Bolt on aftermarket exhaust (headers w/high flow cats, bypass pipes, and performance exhaust) and you stated it would not yield any gains or possibly have a negative outcome. essentially a waste of money. Thats all I care to find out does it or does it not improve HP and Torque. as far as the AFR the stock ECU will not be touched or chipped in anyway. I will try and keep the variables as close as possible. Same dyno, straps, engine temps, IAT's, etc. No i'm not going to monitor the AFR. This is a simple bolt on test.
