Just had Fabspeed sport cat installed

First, big shout out to Mike at XPH and the crew at Fabspeed. Beautiful piece of art for a catalytic converter. Mike for great coms and fast shipping.

Just had the sport cat installed. Only drove about 10 miles in rainy slippery conditions so not a ton of performance updates. If I tried to accelerate even beyond moderate levels, the wheels would just spin.

No CEL, only for 10 miles

But wow, what an impression it made right off the bat! I have a full Dinan cat back and a CTS intake. The sound is way too quiet for me. Fired it up with the cat and what a difference. Much more aggressive. It sounds like all the sound deadening material was removed. Louder more metallic revs. Sounds like a something off of a track. I am finally fully pleased with the sound. Made me start to giggle when I revved it.

Will follow up with my impression of performance when it dries up outside

Agreed.
Very loud
Very aggressive
Very satisfying

It's amazing how basically a higher flowing cat affects the entire exhaust system.

Just wait till you let off the gas in an underground parking garage with it in sport or sport + and get the burbles. So loud. Makes people dive for their cars!

Just drove it for about another 10 miles. Sound is indeed significantly different and louder. The effect of change from stock cat to fabspeed is greater than the effect of stock exhaust to Dinan system. When I put on the Dinan system, I though well thats a little better. The cat was more of the wow factor I was looking for.
