Yes, with better HP increase than mufflers. Gains are marginal at best, though.

how does it affect your bottom end... are you getting more mid range accel at the expense of low end torque? what about top end?

i find my cayenne about the same...not much power diference although i have been told 10hp is hard to detect on a big 6000 lb suv...very peppy in tip and first gear all the way thru...

yes, however, only do one, cat or muffler, too much torque loss otherwise.

Yes. Read my comments in the other cat-bypass thread.
