Default Videos of Stock and VAP 200 Cell cat

Here's some videos of before and after the VAP 200 cell cat, if anyone needs them. Same road, 20 minute drive in various throttle positions. I was driving. Still new to the whole action cam thing, so audio quality isn't as good as I expected, but both are recorded on the same microphone and same audio bitrate/quality. In the future I'll record using lossless PCM audio.

Stock exhaust:

Modified with VAP 200 cell cat:

Short verdict: Unless you need to replace your cat, want every last ounce of horsepower, or want to make it a lot more rowdy (James May would call it "juvenile"), stick with the stock cat.

Agreed...I like the OEM sound better. (but that's why restaurants offer menus)

As a high-functioning 12 year old, I love the 200 cell cats (they do sound a bit different with the SVR exhaust)

Also that looks like LA yeah? Nice to see another Socal F type around here!

You can't and will never pick up the true sound of the exhaust or cat swap from a video, especially on these cars. I needed to replace my cats and went with the 200 cell on my v8s and I absolutely love it. You would read comments saying that it sounds too raspy and such, it is not. It's perfect. Gives you a very good V8 Rumble without sounding like it's trying too hard and annoying. I can only imagine how great it'll be once I add an exhaust
