ok my friends keep gettin pulled over for modifying their exhause were i live in ndoge county nebraska its illegal to modify your exhaust unless its broke witch mine is (broke off After the CAt) i wanna run true dual with no cat what would be the best size pipe to go with? also we dont have emmision testing hear

 

you have to have a cat, irregardless of whether or not you have emissions testing, its required by federal law.

If your friends are getting hassled about modifying their exhaust, why are you doing it? are you a glutton for punishment?

For a stock 305tbi, 2.25 would be more than enough, though a good 3" single would fit a lot better, and bolt on.

 

im not really modifying it like they are theri are certain rules u still have to fallow for instance my friend modified the exhaust on his diesle and because it his old exhaust was not wrescked he got introuble and my exhaust is broke all over teh place and my cat is going bad ive been told by some people to just lose the cat

 

well, it doesnt matter what people are telling you, you cant legally just lose the cat. and running duals on the car is modifying the exhaust. Duals are just a realy PITA to run on these cars anyway, it can be done, but the headache is not really worth it. If you want a loud car, you can use a 3" catback and use a straight through bullet muffler, or some other kind of racing muffler that has a straight through design. You will see no increase in performance unless you also swap out the factory manifolds as well, and use a good y-pipe.

the cat "going" is a good excuse to replace it with a good aftermarket hi flowing cat, you will not sacrifice much power, and you will still be legal.

 

do you know of any good sounding exhust kits that can br order im ordering 68460 - Hedman Hedders from jegs they have a three inch outlet or do y know if its possible to run a cat right off of them and then straight pipe all the way back i know ill have to order to cats also i was thinking two cherry bomb glass packs would this be a cheap easy way to run dual also i found out if your car is 20 years or older then you can modify it i dont have much money and im trying to stay border line if u have any info or input thanks
