Mine is definitely the trend of doing “catless downpipes” and “resonator deletes” making your exhaust super raspy as a means of gaining more volume rather than doing a proper exhaust setup. Especially since high flow cats these days will flow more hp than most are making.
I know I’m a total hypocrite, but exhaust systems when you have an early job… neighbor has a Hawkeye wrx with a cat back leaves for work at 4am monday-Friday… every single morning without fail it wakes me up.
