The effect of midpipe?
#12
I'm sorry, but that's just an asinine thing to do. If you want a faster car, buy one, as opposed to yanking off something that helps offset pollution.

I also have no cat.
Im currently running a T1R test-pipe, Modacar mid, and a Netami twinloop axle-back. I think my car sounds great.
From around 2000-3500rpms it has a tad bit of rasp. Theres more tone then rasp but its there. And its only when Im 1/2 throttle to WOT. By reducing how much I press the pedal down I can get rid of the noise.
Higher RPMs my car sounds wonderful. Ive let my friends drive it around and I love the tone of my car.
I do want to change my muffler though. I want it to be quiet. Id like to hear intake only now.
To the original poster, having the concept G muffler, no cat and a different B-pipe will be loud. Any canister style exhaust will be loud with no cat.

Look, removing the catalytic converter makes a car pollute a LOT more. And for what? To get an extra hp or two?
How about not being self-centered by creating a lot of extra pollution just to make your car louder? You can make a car plenty loud without removing the cat.

yeah since my exhaust with the hks isnt loud at all(doesnt even sound like i have one) im going to run a test pipe(s pipe with cat delete). or if WR comes out with the race header i wont have to waste money on another header. yeah that will help give my car a beefier tone. considering it has very little tone to it now.

By that same token, I should let my (theoretical) dog crap on your lawn.

So far all my cars have had no cat. My dads truck has no cat and about 95% of my friends cars are cat less.
My car isnt loud either. Only way to make people keep catalytic converters is strict emissions test in every State; which you know.

I know what removing the cat does. Me having the cat in my car isnt going to stop the person next to me, or any of the others either.

That would be a nice alternative to the "I don't give a shit cause its my life" attitude.

wow do we have some tree huggers in this thread?
okay maybe that was a little to harsh, but i was joking
i know some of you are concerned about our future earth and what not.
thats one reason why i hate CA so much, there are so many ridiculous smog rules that its un bearable to live in. i mean we have random smog check points now. tell me thats not crazy. while people up in other states with a bit more green on their land dont have any smog regulations at all.
yeah, granite the cat is great to have, but that extra horse power is definitely needed in our cars. i dont see any of yall gripeing about the people with turbos. i can say those guys are mainly running test pipes, because it definitely gets the extra power when running catless.
and from my exhaust guy, he said that high flow cats are not even smogable. the only help to a certain point. i mean i guess it helps, but if your gonna have a cat...why spend the extra money for something that you can still get busted for? i dont know if thats true or not, thats just what i heard and have understand.
