Exhaust Question Reply #1 – December 07, 2009, 06:50:08 AM Removing the cats will make a difference,but not a huge difference.Just wait until you can install a new exhaust system.Be patient and do it right the first time.Also,louder exhaust doesn't always mean better exhaust. Quote Selected

Exhaust Question Reply #6 – December 07, 2009, 11:43:35 PM theres really no use in keeping it on thereits not helping anything ,it restricting air flow,,and if i take it off everyone says my flowmaster will sound alot better Quote Selected
Exhaust Question Reply #7 – December 08, 2009, 12:10:32 AM if u want it louder u might have to go with diff series flowmasters. i have dalta flow 40 series but i would not recomeand u put them on your truck being its got 4x4 and it most likely has a 410 gear in the rearend so it would be realy lound at higher speeds Quote Selected
Exhaust Question Reply #8 – December 08, 2009, 12:13:40 AM could you put a stick in one end and out the other. well a metal pipe? you can take it off and knpen 15 the honeycomb ceramic out of it it, reinstall it and it's basically catless. unless its welded on.. WHY DO EXHAUST GUYS WELD BRACKETS SO YOU MAY NEVER REMOVE AN EXHAUST GOD Quote Selected
Exhaust Question Reply #9 – December 08, 2009, 10:05:05 AM I meant get a new cat on it. Newer ones flow pretty good. You obviously have no idea how much that old v8 is throwing into the air. I like breathing.Besides its not like its a bottleneck on your stock truck engine.Just saying...Also don't just pound the honeycomb out, cut the whole thing out. You'll get a good $50 or better for it. That'll pay for a new hi flow. Quote Selected
Exhaust Question Reply #10 – December 08, 2009, 01:29:23 PM yeh but just knocking the ceramic out of it is cheaper but yeh if you have the tools that prolly would pay for a hi flow like you say bhaz Quote Selected

Exhaust Question Reply #12 – December 08, 2009, 07:36:45 PM Right who am I to say anything like that, none of my cars have cats.But theyre all small halfengines between 1.3 and 2.3 liters and get 25-50 mpg's and could probably pass smog checks without a cat.Thats what trees are for anyway, to turn our pollution into clean air. They should plant more trees in kalifornias cities, right? Quote Selected
