To Mr SUPRAGTE,
I'm not trying to ruffle feathers, but a 3 inch system on a 6 cylinder turbocharged monster is probably a huge restriction on your exhaust gas flow as it is. Adding in a catalytic converter is obviously going to make things worse, even a high flow one. Obviously due to regulations/laws and even restrictions on under bonnet temperatueres and space you can't fit anything much bigger than 3 or 3 1/4" (especially extractors), but I'm just saying, any exhaust is a restriction.
Gains of 30hp seems a little unrealistic, maybe 15->20 rwhp is *possible*, but unless there is something seriously wrong with your "expensive" high flow cat, I would be very surprised to see 30rwhp difference between a cat convertered car, and no cat.
Now about this left testicle stuff, I know people close to me who only have their left testicle left, because of cancer. The pollution formed from a non-catalytic converter exhaust system was obviously not a contributing factor in this case, but the less we F*#% up the environment the better, instead of chasing horsepower, try improving your driving skills to make up speed, because when you get to the bottom of it, the driver is the BIGGEST restriction on the car, not the catalytic converter.
You only have to look at Jack and Andrew in the South Australian Rally Championship to see what I mean, or for a more well known example, Simon Evans in the ARC.
