no i havent just a cat-delete

lscamaro · 05-08-2012, 01:46 AM

Well if it were me, id take it one thing at a time. I'd try the x pipe and see how u like it then. If u want just a little louder, you could delete the mufflers and straight pipe or put some glass packs. If u want something more, then u could start looking into deleting the resonators.

bluecam805 · 05-08-2012, 02:01 AM

yeah i thought taking out the cats would make me happy but terribly wrong. but yeah i want a nice deep tone. so ima go with wut u suggested. add resonated x or the magna flow resonated plus the magnaflow mufflers.. might as well get that all together so i dont pay later to weld and cut allover again . i would be happy though if i can just get an axle back .but im not sure if itll stop the raspy sound

The actual cats are the only thing in my exhaust that's still stock because I didn't want to have to deal with them yet. I removed the back cats (the ones AFTER the o2 sensor) and everything is 2.5" all the way through the exhaust and I think it sounds great, but not that loud. Since that's what I was going for, I was happy with it. I'd be interested in hearing how yours sounds after you're done!

bluecam805 · 05-16-2012, 02:00 AM

oh nice thats what im goin for. yeah hopefully ill get it soon. do u hav any vids?

Removing cats will definitely make the car louder and raspier, the easiest thing to do to get rid of it is to put helmholtz chambers on.

bluecam805 · 05-17-2012, 02:01 AM

defently raspy. im hoping the x resonator will make due . does it restrict alot of air flow?

I pulled the nuts off mine the 1st week I got it home and put anti seize on them. I knew at some point they would be coming off to change something.

bluecam805 · 05-27-2012, 11:46 AM

what you change it to?? hi flow?

Just wanted to verify before I do this mod. If I remove both front and rear cats, I will get a CEL and need tune to fix it? If I remove just the rear cats, I will not get a CEL? If I replace the front cats with 200 cell (or lower) cats, will I get a CEL?
