farty with little gain on a stock motor.

 

Farty huh eck no thanks i hate that sound... h:

 

The answer-it is illegal to begin with. It will NOT increase performance on a basically stock car. It sounds terrible (IMO) and you will NOT pass smog generally. For the money-buy a Hi-flow cat and a quality exhaust like a Thermal.

 

When cats first came out in 1974, they robbed anywhere from 30-100 hp from engines. But remember, that was the days of big block Detroit iron and carbed motors with no computer controls. Today, engines are so well tuned, engineered, and low emissions to begin with that the converter isn't such a big factor in performance. You will not yield much of anything but a fine the next time you register it.

 

Supposedly cutting out the cat give you more hsp but cut some of your torque. I can understand why some people do it, but I still think that when you speed away from me, I don't wan a nasty smell. Don't you think there's enough pollution, we don't need more, and that's what the cat is for. Unless you are seriously close to be super fast just by a nice sounding exhaust and a high flow cat vs. getting a huge fine. Always better to go safe than stupid.

 

dont gut you car.. it will cuase back pressure problems.. if you want to get rid of your car go to www.testpipes.com and order a test pipe.. or just get a high flow cat... but dont gut out your cat...

 

bleh, high flo cats suck hardcore...i barly had mine 5 months on my lude 99 SH and its already detereorating..makes a funny BZZZZZZZZZZZT at 3.8k-4.6k rpm...highflo cats may be highflo but usualy not made worth CRAP...dont bother puttin race gas in it...you might superheat it..and break it....dont buy random tech!....imma hollow the new one out now, screw what you guys say..its the best way to go...

 

i just got my test pipe from testpipes.com, but im selling my car now to buy this really nice 99 c5 corvette here in town, so if anyone wants a BRAND NEW 2.25 inch test pipe ill sell it, 50.00.
