Cat gutting?

[MarkVIII93]

Has anyone here had their cats gutted? If so, Did you get a CEL anytime after? Will this effect my 02 sensors?

I've heard of a couple of people gutting them without a problem. The only problem you may have with your O2's is if they don't heat up enough because of the high flow capacity.

02's will be fine but your cat monitors will go "cattywhompus"(yes its a technical term) those are the 02's that are downstreem from the cats. summitt sells mil eliminators i dont know if they work or not though but thats where they are for

 

[Jibit]

that's only on the Gen 2's, by looking at his sig he's got a Gen1

You are COMPLETELY wasting your time gutting your cats. The amount of improvement over stock is SO small it is NOT worth it.

gen one only have 1 set of o2's and no cat monitors?

Im looking for a louder, raspier exhaust tone. Not neccessarily more hp.

 

[Jibit]

That's right, no O2's behind the cats

What about the 96? Its OBDII like the Gen II

 

[MarkVIII93]

Durr...... I already have daul exhaust..... 2.5" from the cats back, into a d/d magnaflow(perforated tru-x core).

 

[chicken]

let me check on the 96 i dont think obdII matters for that

 

[02LSE96LSC91SE84TC]

That'd be cool. I'll like to know, I know it shares some of the Gen II emision crap.

 

[chicken]

96 has got monitors sorry for you too

 

[02LSE96LSC91SE84TC]

I thought so. Is what it is.

Y would you want it louder.. ditch the magnaflow and get a flowmaster d.i/d.o.

I want it louder cause its my car and I will do what I want with it. If you knew anything, youd know that flowmasters dont flow for sh1t, and they're too expensive. I payed 79.95 for a d/d muffler, Their single 40 series are the same price and sound like sh1t.

Probably get alot of cabin noise.

 

[MarkVIII93]

I dont care about cabin noise. I care about vrrooom vroomm noise! hah

Plus gutted cats sound so nasty ass and raspy IMHO Burble, burble, burble.

 

[MarkVIII93]

Theres a tad bit of drone, but I like the overall sound of it. I just want it to be louder and raspier.

Cool, thanks.
