 Are you happy with it?  Does it cause any problems with not having proper
 back pressure?  Did you gain better gas mileage?  Anything I should be aware
 off??
 Thank you

Alan,

    I don't know what county your in, but here in Montgomery, we have
emissions, and I know that they are planning to convert the entire state to
emissions testing. You may want to check around the legalities of that. It
would suck if you did that now, and in 2 years had to replace it again with a
stock cat. Just an opinion though.
