exhaust

do you think cutting the cat out of my exhaust and weld a new pipes into it is as good as a full exhaust. since headers flow so well?

RE: exhaust

thats true....but i would recomend picking up a used header on ebay for cheap and have it done to that one that way if it gets messed up no real biggie and you can still ride

RE: exhaust

it does make a difference as the stock header is restrictive with the cat there.

RE: exhaust

it does make a difference with just removing the cat and leaving the stock headers?

RE: exhaust

You will lose a lot of low end torque, I think setups without cats are for trackers since they are all on high end power. If you do street riding just leave the cats in there.
