am about to invest in ESS sports exhaust (because I have broken baffles in the current exhausst and a simple replacement is 4x the cost) but wont be going for a decat pipe or a 100cell cat because I dont want an enormous increase in decibels, just a little one. At the same time, thought I'd get a promax chip.
the promax site says that in terms of power increases "best results are achieved using the chip in conjunction with a cone type filter and a free flowing exhaust". I am assuming a free flowing exhausst would include either a decat pipe or sports cat which I wont be getting. they advertise K&N panel filters, but I dont know if these are the same as or different from a cone filter.
my question is, will a K&N panel filter offer any real advantage if I'm chipping but not changing the cat?
