Hey, i want my car to sound a little bit meaner, i have a flowmaster catback but i was disappointed at the sound of it. I really dont want to gut my cat or make a ORP. But how would it sound with a cheap High flow cat, i dont want to spend to much so i was just looking at a $100 high flow cat plus install. Would it sound good or just as good as no cat/gut cat?

thanks

 

get a cut out, changing to the high flow cat will help a little, no cat will help more

 

I agree with Chaz, if you are just looking for some more sound, get an electric cut out. From inside the car then you can adjust how much it opens, therefore how much louder the car is.

I have the McCord and it works great. My only complaints are that it opens/closes pretty slowly.

 

I personally love the sound of my ORP. However with the cut-out added in, its gets pretty dang annoyingly loud...

 

Which cat is the best? High flow cat that is. I don't wanna pay for a name b/c well I don't wanna spend much for just a cat anyway. But I was wondering if I did get a high flow cat, which one is the best? I don't need anything to make the car sound any louder as Iam more prone to building sleepers

 

where do i put the cut out? if i put it after the stock cat, would it sound as mean as a high flow?

 

Carsound is one of the highest flowing and isn't that expensive. Here's some flow numbers on several different cats.

I picked up a carsound from someone in the forsale section for $50. If is a very nice cat, hell, you can see light through it (And no it wasn't gutted) Very smooth insides for better flow. Didn't change the tone of my exaust too bad (I had no cat) when I had it welded on.

Great cat in my book!

 

Maybe you can help me, should i get the car sound cat that is flanged or not? non flanged is 60 bucks cheaper and im sure my local muffler shop will put it in for about 30 bucks.

Thanks for the info... I suppose stock exhaust is 3" isn't it? I never really paid close attention.
