OK im about to completely redo my exhaust with hooker shorty headers (coated) to a 3 in. y-pipe to a hooker super comp. cat-back Do I really need my cat or should I just leave it off (no emmissions in my state )

 

No emissions = No cat

Either ditch it all together or just get a crowbar, something with a long handle and gut the thing.

 

No emissions, so dont use a cat. All it will do is rob HP.

 

take the beeeeyotch clear off i did and thiers emissions up here for anything older then 95 so im safe. sounds better to

 

Wow I cant belive how many people favor dirty nasty air. Technology has made great advancements with catalysts and now a good high flow cat only takes 1-2 hp. I think clean air is worth the small hit in power.

 

hey aklaim, go hug a tree or something, or save a deer, have guns illegalized, and have them banish our old muscle cars, you voted for gore didnt you, and now your upset dean is out arent you, you also participated in the nj bear hunting protest. people like you disgust me just like dennis leary said ill be driving my v8 sucking down a nice bloody red beef burger, while i throw the undecomposable carton out the window sucking all that gasoline i can wow imagine that

 

Well, here is my take on it--and we don't have any emmisions regulations in Alberta.

If your system already comes with a good high flow, low hp loss catalytic converter then use it. You paid for it and if it is only going to cost 1 or 2 hp, then it is basically a non-issue.

But if you can also purchase it without the converter, or the converter is a real hp hog, and you don't have emmisions regulations, ditch it.

I don't have one and I don't lay awake at night over it.

 

You buy it and he'll put it on. Yes you are right that the good ones take 1-2 HP but the cost is a couple hundred dollars and the cost of a test pipe is much less.

 

well said aklim very well said

 

First off, calm down lordmetal! Dang, he didn't mean to upset anyone.

Aklaim, I agree with you. Provided you already have the Random Tech, etc Cat. They are really expensive dude! If they were cheaper, I'd be all up for it. I just can't justify giving up a cam, intake, etc just for cleaner emissions.

For about #330 apiece, if they don't have emission testings and what not, I can't see spending that kind of money. I did because they might start testing in my area sometime.

 

hey lordmetal i noticed that your location says ny, i also live in new york, but i thought that they only exempt if the car is 30 years old??? maybee its the area i like in (rockald county),

oh and i really liked what you said
i agree completely, the whole world is slowely turning to shiz, actually its more like already has and getting worse.

what the junk is this: "aklim" and "aklaim" is it the same guy or a wannabee?

 

i meant to say "I live" in rockland, not "I like"...i actually really hate the dam town

 

Two differnet people.

 

Very different from the sound of it.
