Another Question for you guys-
I have a 95 T/A with single cat exhaust. I know in 96 GM switched to a dual cat system and picked up 10 horses (285 vs. 275). My car is due for some new pipes and due to Michigan not testing for emissions, I am able to remove my convertor if I so choose. I was wondering if y'all pick up any power by removing the cat on these cars, or if the stock cam profile needs backpressure to keep cyl pressures up. (Hence, I would lose power by removing it). The stock cam isn't going to stay forever, but I'll have to live with it until my I get enough money to finish my short block, and would like to prepare the exhaust for the new motor , I just don't want to lose power in the meantime.
- Now here's the other question- In place of the cat I was going to weld up a cutout. My exhaust is 3" from the y-pipe back, so I was wondering if I'm going to end up frying my passenger's feet or if there's still enough clearance there to avoid this. Kinda wondering if anyone has done this before and what results they've had with it.
