you can always plasma cut the TOPs off, the side that faces the car, pull the **** out, weld em back on, do a bunch of grinding and such to make it look like you never did it


Im gonna have my friend let me put on his O/R H pipe, and i think ill have my buddy to an emmissions test to see if it passes

if it does, thats what im gonna do

Is it really that bad to change your mid pipes? It only takes me about 20 minutes. How often is your inspection? Louisiana is once a year.

i did it on mine, a long round bar and hammer, takes alot to get all 4, and then u have to use a wire to pull the mesh inside there out...its a pain. im about to an o/r h pipe, i have a a/f sensor bung in there, so if ya want it i might let it go for just a couple pennies.

if u know the right place they will pay u for ur cats more than the cost of a offroad x or h pipe. gutting them is like burning atleast 4 fifty dollar bills up. some places pay up to 140 per cat! and the price for a repalcement catted h pipe is over 500 usually keep that in mind. theres no power gain from doing this either unless the cats are plugged ! lol
