A simple DP question

Ok...
So, on Wednesday I am getting a Pettit downpipe installed. What I am wondering is if I have over 120,000 miles on the pre-cat stuff right now, how clogged do you think it is (meaning, how much will this DP help out)? I guess I don't really know how badly or quickly they deteriorate, so any guess would be helpful. I'm just trying to convince myself that this is a worthwhile cause

When I installed my DP my car was fine (82k)...However, it's really hard to tell how much a DP is clogged or if at all...By installing the aftermarket DP it will help with heat issues that the 3rd gens suffer from and also give you a little more pep....So from a performance and reliabiality stand point I would say go for it...

It's worthwhile & you'll not only notice, but you will also enjoy the difference.

It's worthwhile, even if your precat is perfect.

120k miles... your pre-cat was clogged about 30k miles ago. You will feel it!
