If you ever do think you want to put a 3 inch cat back, back on research the cobra sport non res cat back. Probably the best sounding in my opinion

That background noise in the shop was so annoying, but the last part made up for it 😉 A cat's internals are like a honeycomb and when it breaks down the particles block that comb and massively restrict airflow hence lack of power. Great decision to go for a 200 cell cat and 3 inch down pipe which obviously increases airflow and power, but may I suggest you opt for a 3 inch pipe from cat back as you got 3 inches of airflow running into 2 inches of back pipe which will effect the airflow, just a thought😉

@@CarFocused There's an old saying that get as much air in the front and as much out the back = more BHP But as I said there's a buffer going from 3 to 2 inch pipes. I know it sounds trivial but it's the same as having the internal ports polished on your plenum it all helps with airflow. 😉
Think I’m having the same issue with my st225, was you getting a slight misfire when stationary aswell as the loss of power?. Mine has kind of muffled the sound I have the rotten egg smell and when I ease the power in it’s fine, when I boot it tho it’s down on power.

Don’t recall a misfire mate just no power but loads of cat particles all over the back bumper - look like little fibres when you shine a torch on it.

Now delete the resonator, and you will have a perfect growl. It sounds great now, just keep in mind the resonator is holding back more of a growly sound and some pops.

i had the same issue with my car about 2 years ago. Massive plumes of smoke out the back and a horrible rotten egg smell.
