I just took off my cat....

and the car has a lot of back pressure noise now. When I tach it up it sounds good, but when I get off the gas it pops alot and sounds terrible. Did anyone else ever experience anything like this?

yeah this happens to us all. the popping is just louder without he cat there to muffle it and burn off excess gas which has been said to cause popping. my advice... learn to shift faster and you wont pop so much

I have stock manifolds and cat and it pops like hell when downshifting the tranny manually. The Flowmaster gives it a nice tone though so I like it. LTs and off road Y might make it a little irritating if it's a lot louder.
