**** it, Ima make a exhaust vid right now to show u whats up.
cats make your car sound ricey? since when. not from my personal experience nor from the sound clips I've seen. Its illegal to take them off, it can make your exhaust smell like ****, and you'll loose low end power on a stock motor going o/r

I would have to agree

Since 2004 when it was kool to work on an sn95.

Yeah it's only illegal depending on the state you live in, if the state doesn't do emissions then it's not, and the exhaust smells like **** fo begin with, but if you mean it smells a lot different then you're running rich.

You will loose low end power but that's what gears are for.

no it is a FEDERAL law to have cats on a car, just because your state doesnt test it doesnt mean its legal, i like high flows personally,

and replacing gears isn't exactly a cheap job to make up for the power you loose...kindof stupid logic

I've seen dyno comparisons to back it up on slightly smaller engines. Not saying its a substantial drop..but it was there
