High flow cats will make the car not sound so raspy unlike if you get rid of your cats on the v6 and yes they do flow more so they make more power.

ive still yet to figure out what the O/R stands for. like O/R H pipe. Im new to the dual exhaust thing. All ive did is change the stock exhaust for a perfect fit flowmaster 40, and i think its the best cheap exhaust you can do. Ill get a video sometime. Its not very loud, but cutting the cats will ruin its controlled sound it has. People have asked if its a v8 when i start it, but they know after i rev it then its a v6, dont got that rev down sound. But all i can say is, if your gonna do any exhaust, my fav sound is with a long tube header setup, no cats, H pipe, and 2 flow 40's with turndowns. Thats my dream exhaust when i get more money.

O/R stands for off road, means it has no cats.

im not sure how good of a sound u will get. a guy around my house has a v6 with a 8.8 rear and 4.56 gears. and he has his cats gutted, in other words, there still there he just ripped the insides out. and i really dont like the sound. its different tho for the area. lots of mustangs where i live. all are quiet. but idk dude go ur own path, be different! thats how i roll.. look at the 20vs17s in tire and wheel talk, i used to have 20's haha.

That's why he wants high flow cats. They will help keep the sound mellow and not awful like when the v6 has no cats on it.
