Hello all, I have fitted my new exhaust and replaced the two cats with two 3 inch free flowing silencers from the y pipe which dumps by the differential. My question is now when I plant the throttle there is hardly any tire spin/smoke is it possible the torque curve has moved up in the RPM range because I’m still getting 0-60 time in 6 seconds. I hope I did not loose any power with this mod, any ideas.

Sound like you killed the bottom end by putting to big of exhaust on it. If you only got 2 3" pipes that dump in front of the axle it's like running open headers.

no i replaced the cats with same diameter pipes two and half inch then put a simmons silencer on the end of the y pipe with 3 inch inlet,outlet 24 inch long which ends just in front of the diff sorry my spelling is crap,so if i move the silencer to the back of the car and run 3 inch pipe to it would that make a difference i just love smokeing them tyres

Well eliminating the cats alone isn't going to make much of a difference in performance. And I'm not sure what a "silencer" is but it sounds a lot like a muffler. And if it is, moving it back won't make much difference, if any.

What engine do you have, and is it in good tune, make sure you didn't bump any sensors(o2) and break the wires. I doubt your exhaust would have much to do with the power"loss". And if you still want to burn tires and all else fails just put your old exhaust on.

Back pressure to pull off first gear? Tons of drag racers use autos with open headers. I guess you could do some chip burning to care of the no tire smoke problem with the new exhaust and take advantage of your new free flow exhuast, or if you like burning the tires that much, just leave on the old system.
