need help on this one, a friend of mine is giving me a Y pipe, with no cats and placed 2 cutouts instead. Would this help me out, or would i need the backpressure. I need everyones opinion on this move, should i do it or not. Dont worry about how im gettin an inspection sticker got that part taken care of. Thanx for the replies.

you'll lose a lot of low end torque but i think it's just the same thing as gutting cats or running high flow cats so i don't see anything wrong w/ it

 

THANX buddy, i have this same post on 2 other boards and they've been there for about a week, and ur the first to reply.

1/4 mile 13.581@101.876 now after cutout and HPP3 13.3@106

 

I have a '94 Z-28 with no cat, cutout and Flowmaster(and induction mods that dont matter for this post). Although i have an LT-1(which by my experience have louder, more aggresive exhaust notes), with the cutout uncapped, it is EXTREMELY loud . I have been pulled over twice while just cruising at 45 in 5th gear. i dont like the sound till it gets to about 2800-3000RPM's, then it is real mean. But if you like VERY loud exhaust and want the whole damn car to shake like you had a Mildly aggressive cam, then go for it. As previously mentioned, the low end torque will not be there, but high end horsepower will !!
