should I keep the glasspack for my cat with my magnaflow

I have an glasspack for my cat. I want it off, I think it will be less restrictive and more free flowing and a little louder if I replace it with straight pipe. keep it or trash it?




I already have magnaflow which one Idk just knows it has one inlet and 2 outlets.

I'd take the glass pack off and just weld a pipe in. I've never liked glass packs

Re: should I keep the glasspack for my cat with my magnaflow

i don't care for the sound of glass packs, so my vote would be to remove them and since were in illinois and don't have emissions checks in our area i would do a pipe in it's place (mandrel bent).

Re: should I keep the glasspack for my cat with my magnaflow

Personal preference. If you don't want the glasspack there. Take it out and throw a straight pipe in its place. If you don't like the sound of that, put the glasspack back. Exhaust comes down to the sound and tone you're looking for and willing to pay for.
