Rear Cats deleted = awesome sound
Re: Rear Cats deleted = awesome sound
Removing the rear cats is something I would like to do. The problem is, it is illegal in Texas and there is a hefty fine if caught. Something else of interest, I found that it is illegal in Texas is to put a Turbo on a car that didn't come equipped with one from the factory.

Okay, I have a dumb question. If I remember correctly the cats are welded and integral to the exhaust system. How do you get them off... Saw or torch? What about the stainless steel tubes to replace them? This doesn't sound like something that can be done at home

Chop saw is best. Yes, replace with s/s tubes

AHHHH there is another way, shopvac and a long metal pipe ( like 1/2" ) and you can core the core, cracking it and vacuum out the shards, with dust mask and good ventilation. 45 minutes after the exhaust bolts and sections are separated. Less fuss and muss and no $$ COSTS. Weeeeeee

I removed the rear cats today on my N/A limited crossfire. I dont really noticed any robust noise from the exhaust . It seems very similar to having the cats on. I still have my stock muffler on too. I kept my cats too.

I did the same with my coupe. Removed rear cats + I have a Megan Racing M-RS muffler installed. It. Is. LOUD. I really like it, but I have to drive like a grandma in my neighborhood and anywhere near the police. My dad (ex cop) tells me every time he sees me that he's amazed I don't get pulled over every single day. lol. Anyway, I got it done for $35. Just straight piped the rear two.
