gutted cats

1LOUDGT · April 13th, 2008, 12:05 PM

Has anyone gutted the cats of the factory midpipe. If so was it complicated, how did you do it?
Anyone have audio of what it would sound like?

Gutted cats on our cars sound atrocious.

1LOUDGT · April 13th, 2008, 12:26 PM

Pypes was my first thought also. Just curiouse about the factory midpipe. Trying to be cheap. The x/pipe is starting to get to me. Like the sound of the BoomTubes. Maybe i'll just put the factory pipe back on and add those.

06RedfireGT · April 13th, 2008, 12:32 PM

What's your setup now?

1LOUDGT · April 13th, 2008, 01:12 PM

O/R X with flowmasters.

Gotta agree with everyone else and suggest the Pypes system. Gutted catts would sound like ass.

I cut out the factory cats and welded in some pipe, fitted MIL eliminators

gutting cats doesnt sound good and you lose power!!!!

BLACJAC · April 13th, 2008, 07:33 PM

mustangrebuilder i agree with you that clip with the cats out and pipe welded in sounded damn awful!! and you lost some low end torque!

texas_mustang · April 13th, 2008, 07:35 PM

i think it sounds good.

you also have to take into account that the camera mic was clipping some.

im sure it sounds wayyy better in person

BLACJAC · April 13th, 2008, 08:04 PM

ur right texas , it always sounds better in person, i heard that about sex too!! loloolololol thats better in person hahaahahahah

texas_mustang · April 13th, 2008, 08:05 PM

hahahaha, you "heard" its better in person?

Of course this is strictly my opinion, but... I bought the pypes mid muffler system and their o/r X. I didn't even take it off the ramps, it sounded like azz. It had so much trumpeting and popping that I removed the X without even driving it! The next day I gutted the stock H pipe and installed it. Finally...the sound I was looking for! No trumpeting, no popping, no drone, just deep and low with a little "aggressiveness" to it. But...when I installed the turbo it kind of took the "edge" away, and I miss the aggressive sound. I would definitely do it again! I didn't lose any torque either.

05mustang_TT_charged · April 13th, 2008, 10:04 PM

You lose 5hp per cat and when you remove them you can gain roughly 10hp

BLACJAC · April 13th, 2008, 10:07 PM

thats true kb , but if u dont put on high flow cats you will lose low end torque , kind os a mexican standoff loloololololool

05mustang_TT_charged · April 13th, 2008, 10:13 PM

haha, true seems like everything you do makes more in one spot and loses in another
