taking it all off

ttop5.0 · July 3rd, 2006, 11:28 PM

is it possible to remove my cat back system and run only the headers and cat or will there be reprocusions in the act of doing so???

drgnracin72 · July 4th, 2006, 01:13 AM

itll be way too fucking loud and the law will not like it all

ttop5.0 · July 4th, 2006, 02:48 AM

but mechanically ok????
i dont care about the law right now, but i kinda have to i just want it to scream!!!!!!!!!

ChrisJ · July 4th, 2006, 02:48 AM

Yep the cops would eat ya up...

drgnracin72 · July 4th, 2006, 03:37 AM

well it will def scream that way but to me it would just get extrmely annoying after the first few minutes of it. i love my cars to be loud as hell but i dont think i could deal with that!

It sounds like ass with just cats.

TwinFox · July 5th, 2006, 05:46 AM

I've been around a little four banger that had its muffler fall off, and it sounded like crap and gave me a headache. I can only imagine that a v8 would be that much louder.

I'm also not a big fan of noxious fumes in my car.

So the repercussions:
Headache
A ticket (or at least harassment)
And the good chance of inhaling exhaust for the duration of your trip

drgnracin72 · July 5th, 2006, 05:19 PM

a nice v8 sounds badass with just the headers unlike a 4 cyl. but as for the fumes, they would suck ass bad. i knwo in my race car, you sit in the stagin lanes for more than a couple mins with the engine on and youll pass out!!!!!

stangliter04 · July 5th, 2006, 06:23 PM

drgnracin72 · July 5th, 2006, 07:56 PM

Casper98GT · July 5th, 2006, 09:24 PM

yuck.... i drove about 20 miles with only headers and a cattless x-pipe. DOES not sound good IMO.

Casper98GT · July 5th, 2006, 09:29 PM

Oh yeah ..... tttop5.0...... You have very little backpressure. Not good. I wouldnt suggest you doing so.

Im not even sure why you would want to ?

drgnracin72 · July 5th, 2006, 09:36 PM

yeah i wouldnt be able to stand it either but it sounds cool for a minute or two. and yeah you do need a little backpressure and with the open headers almost non-existent

ShapeShifter · July 6th, 2006, 12:14 AM

doesnt sound too bad!

Casper98GT · July 6th, 2006, 07:04 PM

doesnt sound too bad!

Of course not look what youre running. Just post up a clip of what youre car sounds like and just multiply that by 2. Offroad pipes and LM1's are pretty much straight pipes back. I had the same set-up except with a X. It sounded horrible... i got rid of it. haha. IMO.

LOL!!

if you take the exaust off and not the headers, the flor pan will get relly hot and catch on fire!

and if you got "shorty" headers the engine block will over heat and will catch something on fire i know i ahve been there and done that! :lala

while installing my h, i took a few spins around the block with just str8 headers.. sounded like assholes. i have equal shorties tho, long tubes probably sound better for that

Lefty10 · May 13th, 2008, 10:40 AM

sounds good for 2 seconds and at idle...thats about it (in my opinion)
