Don't gut your cat, it is worthless. Get an off-road pipe instead.

 

why not just get a straight pipe or a bullet muffler? save the cat for emmisions testing if you have them.

 

i have replied to this subject 3 times this week i think and my answer is still the same. Don't ditch your cat i felt no performance gain, and after driving around with all the noise, smell, and nasty popping, i just bought a cat to put back on my car.

 

i LOVE my off-road pipe. Sounds awseme, better performance. I say ditch the cat and get an ORP.

 

where can i get an off road pipe? I love my loudmouth but i want LOUDER...i will be getting headers in a few weeks but i want to make it loud until then. Will it be worth it to get a off road pipe for now or just gut the cat for a few weeks?

 

well the exhaust shop just puts in a stright pipe in place of your cat. does your area have emmisions testing? if so then keep the cat aside and get a pipe welded in its place

 

I would for sure get the ORP instead of gutting it. Just go to an exhaust shop and they will weld in a straight pipe for you, mine cost $60.

 

i live in NC with emissions but i can get by them...So i should just go to a local exhaust shop and ask them to weld a pipe in place of my cat?

 

Yeah,just say that you want an ORP welded in. They will ask you to pay in cash

 

They wont cut your cat out i found this out today and i paid to get a pipe put in, in its place, costed 25 bucks and i paid with my visa.

 

Ok it will be atleast next wednesday before i have tehe $$ to even think bout ORP so should i go ahead and gut cat for a couple of days or wait...again i dont mind the loudness and i love the racecar like sound of my loudmouth

 

i say gut it,i did mine and it wasnt that hard.sounds great and i noticed a diff.we are close to each other i live in gastonia.

 

That racecar sound of your car will be raspy as hell if you gut your cat. Just my .02.
