Has anyone with a 05-07 installed a muffler without the catalytic converter. What differences are there other than the sound?

 

Maybe it's just me, but throttle response is a little different, meaning that I barely press the gas pedal driving down the interstate and I'm going 80+! But I'm also running an aftermarket CAI with a programmer.

There is night and day difference in sound. An exhaust setup without cats is CRAZY (aka **** off the neighbors) loud.

 

taking out the cats will get you a little more hp too
and a CEL if you dont turn off the rear O2's

 

+1

 

go for it.... there are enough hybrids on the road now to offset the carbon footprint.[:@]

Any problems with local law enforcement?

 

yea they arrest you...
lol jk
just get cutouts and your all good

 

the law enforcement depends on where you're from. most areas have emissions laws, and you could get into trouble if you get pulled over and they stick some measuring device in your tailpipe to measure your exhaust content. I have yet to be pulled over, but I am a lot more cautious nowadays. I'm always on the lookout for John Q. Law![sm=bustedsign.gif] there's no point in getting a $100-300 ticket if you don't have to.
