Re: help!!

why would you not want a cat?? They only cost you maybe 2-3 hp and help save the environment. With a good set of shorty headers, y pipe and a 3 inch catback your going to gain around 30-35 hp. When I took my cat off, and sat at a red light I could start smelling that fuel smell, and it was horrible. I put it back on since then.

Re: help!!

I have a 3" cat-back hooker on my car. It sounds nice. Here is a short vid, it's not the best but you can get an idea. I will point out it sounds a lot better in person. It has stock manifolds, stock y, high flow 3 " cat. When I put headers and a new y, that will wake it up more.
