you're not doing anything from that forward. so its still restricting.

archemedes street rep is low. keep going

so doing any cat back is restrictive (even though the 4th gen cats flow extremely well)

that doesn't make any sense, yes the stock manifolds and y-pipe are restrictive and to get the best possible numbers should be replaced but to say that a catback or a muffler is restrictive because you are running it w/ the rest of your oem equipment is crazy. it would be more correct to say your exhaust system is still restricting, not the catback or muffler is restrictive
