Hmmm that is called backpressure. If you have an increase in power when increasing the backpressure it probably means your motor is lacking compression. Which is not a good thing.
Also, Restricting the exhaust flow in a turbo car is not a very smart idea.....

Did you crush your cat or punch the guts out of it? If it's the latter that's not going to increase backpressure it will decrease it.

Just saw your post, def not going to increase pressure!! Will relieve pressure and flow easier. Common mod to cars to get away with not having a restrictive cat but not get burnt by the cops.

na, all good, and if there is minimal to no external damage to the cat your not likely to get fined for not having a cat as well

Yeah when you said you smashed it i assumed you crushed it. As i said increasing back pressure is bad - Hollowed out cat however = less backpressure (good) which is why you feel more power
