note: cutout will only work for your passenger side cat and if you do one side only itll mess things up

 

i agree with D james. If you're considering a set of longtubes in the near future which is a lot better investment than an offroad pipe go for it. I don't think its worth it for you right now, cuz you still have those stock manifolds.

 

Don't tell him he can't get the driver side cat off. I have the same exact car and I had both of my cats taken off with no problem whatsoever. The driver side cat takes a little more work than the passenger side, but it can be done. The guy had to cut the cat off using 2 different methods and once he finally got it off, he simply bent a piece of pipe to the angle to make it fit and welded it back. They sound a whole lot better, and I ran into NO problems. It can be done. Cut those cats off. I only had a Flowmaster when I got mine taken off, and the car sounds great and there are no problems at all.

 

I have the offroad pipe from summit. Its really good quality and the slp headers im getting will bolt right up to the y pipe. I noticed quite a bit of difference with the y pipe. The sound difference was a lot too.

 

I think I will try the offroad Y pipe from summit with no cats. Seems much simpler. If I were to put on headers in the future, they would have to be shorties, due to the ground clearence problem I would have with alot of the roads in my town. I already put on a Magnaflow Cat-Back, and I am putting on the Y pipe with no cats to hopefully free up some exhaust flow, and make the Z roar. How much louder will this make my magnaflow system? Will it be raspy or will I be fine?

 

Should sound nice. Will have a good tone.

 

Hopefully it gets alot louder.

 

Jeez don't let bad roads stop ya from getting the logtubes unless your car is lowered or plan on it. Out here in Michigan we have horrible roads, as a matter of fact, a few years back Michigan was rated as the worst state for roads, not sure if it still is, but I haven't had a problem, the collectors are so far forward they really don't hit anything. I do get some scrapping with my true duals on the mufflers once in a great while going off of a very steep driveway but thats all.

 

It will be.

 

Hope so. I am tired of really stepping on it, or revving it in neutrol to get heads to turn. Well, most everyone looks at the car, but i want them to hear it coming. Any other easy mods i can go for easy hp while stasying every day driveable?
