Strait pipe??
Do you guys think that taking out the cat or better flow and sound is a good idea. I dont have to worry about emissions or anything. Or do you guys think a high flow cat would be better? Money is tight so kinda wondered what all of you have done.

I wish I had a nickel for every time some asks about taking off their catalytic converter. I'd be driving a Vette.Originally posted by 96Camaro
No. Do a search for catalytic or converter.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

I remember Fred saying he saw a guy who put a Carsound in place of his off-road pipe. He ended up gaining 1 mph in the traps.94 Black T/A GT, Advanced Induction 355, 3200 stall, built 4L60E, Moser 9", Baer Brakes, Shooting for 11s...Comment

I built an 800HP 381 cubic inch LT1 nitroused stroker, and kept all the emissions equipment functional, including dual 3" CarSound cats. I recommend you go with a high flow cat(s).Fred

Does your cat have to be replaced to run? I would just leave it alone until money isn't so tight. I heard with stock manifolds removing the cat sounds kinda nasty. And you don't want to gut it. I heard that sounds even worse.
I don't have cats, but I have headers and an ORY, so it sounds pretty damn good.

Well in my situation i installed a 3 inch catback and flowmaster muffler, my car was broken up a bit inside and was rattling, I gutted it with it in the car hooked my exhaust back up. Mine sounds great. I get complimetns all the time. But with stock exhaust dont bother with it unless you have to. A buddy of mine had a 95 ta and he put on a staright pipe or gutted it o dont remember with the stock exhaust and muffler and it sounded very raspy. definatly dont mess with it unless it is a must.1995 LT1 bird
