Cut off Cats to Straight pipe

|TH|BLaCkStAnG · May 20th, 2007, 04:01 PM

Has anyone just cut off the cats on the stock exhaust and put a straight pipe on it? If anyone has, how does it sound? Obviously its going to be louder but is the sound good(deep,raspy?).

Im sick of having this stock exhaust that is really quite compared to other stangs around here. Plus I dont have $500 to blow on exhaust right now.

Yea man, I'm gonna do the exact same thing you are here soon hopefully. No one will answer me about mil eliminators though, but yea I'm right there with yea. I'm thinking why not just go with the like $169 hooker x-pipe instead of the like $400 bassani x-pipe...? Same metal.. just different name right?

on mustangs that are 1996 and newer are obd2 and you can shut the rear o2s off with a handheld tuner.

Or just get MIL eleminators from american muscle. You'll only need the rears. 96+ cars don't require a visual for emisions on that end. They just plug and play and it's either pass or fail. The MIL's will pass with them in the rear
