Cutting off catalytic converter
 

Im thinking about just cutting off my catalytic converter and running straight pipes all the way back. Does anyone have any idea what its gonna sound like? I also have 2 flowmaster exhausts (one installed already, one not) How will it sound with the catalytic converter removed and the flowmasters placed on to straight pipes?

i personally think that would be bad ass...i want it as loud as it can be...i already have a huge system so i like when people hear me coming for a mile

as long as you have the flowmaster mufflers on it i think it will sound good. dont just go straight pipes all the way. it will sound like crap.

flowmasters sound nice but trust me its LOUD i got no cats in mine with Mac mufflers and damn its loud mean and i get pulled over 3 times a week

is there anyway to muffle it at all...i mean i want it to be loud but i dont wanna get pulled over...i also want the small amount of power removing the cats gives. any suggestions?

id put a resignator on the exhaust right after the muffler and as long as its after the muffler you wont lose power

or you could just replace your cats w/ some high flow cats then run the pipes back to the mufflers and out the back. and if you want loud, put turndowns right after the mufflers so the exhaust exits under the car and echos. it will sound bad a$$

yes much better then resignators thats your best bet high flow cats.......

how much do you think that would cost? parts and labor, i dont trust myself to do any of that work myself. i like the idea with the turn downs but i like the look of straight pipes. all the same, whats the cost on that work?
