Gutting the Cat

[azygoustoyou]

I guess that would work for a quick fix. I would still consider cutting the ends off your cat and making it a test pipe so when you go replace your exhaust. You are ready unless you keep this method.

Brady, do you mean leave the cat gutted and put a bolt on flange on each end?

I think he is saying that after you remove the cat and gut it. Put the same cat back on the car gutted. that way it looks untampered with and you don't have to buy any test pipes, flex pipes or anything.

Oh I see. Thanks for the assist.

I was courrious. Did the streight pipe change anything? Sound or HP? Anything even noticeable? I'm more interested in how your is reacting to being CAT-Less! I have been tempted to do something similar myself. Mine is carbed but I don't think that would make that much difference in being cat-less.

It made a difference for me only because the broken up ceramic was restricting the exhaust causing the car to bog down at higher rpm's. If the cat would have been good I really don't think removing it would have made that big of a difference.
