Kill the Cats?

98mustang · March 16th, 2008, 12:32 AM

Just a little input from you guys is needed since no one goes to the exhaust section on the forum.

With a 1998 V6 would you go no cats and flows? Or to a muffler shop and go from cats on back? And also can you cut the last two cats off without needing MIL's? NO EMISSIONS IN STATESBORO GA!!!

I have a Force II catback as of now, want the H-pipe, what do u guys think?

if you dont plan on to much power stay with the cats

tsp_2177 · March 16th, 2008, 12:37 AM

i've heard it sounds better without them

98mustang · March 16th, 2008, 12:39 AM

With cats sound wise, is it that much quieter?

itschristorres8 · March 16th, 2008, 12:42 AM

no its louder

tsp_2177 · March 16th, 2008, 12:45 AM

the cats act like a mini sound deadener while they are doing their job

So you are saying it is louder with cats? And TSP says no? Im gonna have to go with the torres! No offense...

tsp_2177 · March 16th, 2008, 12:52 AM

none taken
but he's saying that it's louder without them
it will always be louder with just a straight pipe
something obstructive like a cat will deaden sound

I guess he read my question wrong, cause the way it was answered it made it sound the opposite.

whitemustang02 · March 16th, 2008, 12:58 AM

ya it is louder with out cats but IMO does not sound as good

tsp_2177 · March 16th, 2008, 01:00 AM

itschristorres8 · March 16th, 2008, 01:05 AM

98mustang · March 16th, 2008, 01:06 AM

None for the 98 and i dont feel like cutting up stuff to make them fit.

tsp_2177 · March 16th, 2008, 01:11 AM

i'm pretty sure they make longtubes for ya'lls cars dont they?

98mustang · March 16th, 2008, 01:14 AM

Onemanzu · March 16th, 2008, 03:15 AM

get a different K member and put long tubes... i know people that have put them on the 98 with very little problems...

also Longtubes + no cats + flowmasters = yummy ...

Stang187 · March 16th, 2008, 09:13 AM

also a full mac exhaust system(which i have) = scrumptious = i cant spell?

98mustang · March 16th, 2008, 03:48 PM

HMUSN · March 16th, 2008, 03:50 PM
