I beleave thestoprule is running no cats. Maby he will see this post

 

yeah im running no cats (deleted 1st and 2nd cat) but i have a flowmaster super40, its really "throaty" but still sounds ok.

i am looking into gettin a performance cat when emmissions comes up tho... no time soon

 

Oh ok, I hope so. I'm wondering if it will sound ricey or just really loud and throaty? You think I will lose power due to lack of backpressure?

 

backpressure is a myth... its all about exhaust gas velocity

 

It will be horrendously loud w/ no cats.

 

Has anybody heard of someone having problems w/ no cats?

 

i just got my cut out and its ridiculously loud! so i can burn valves by doing so?

 

naw its not too annoyingly loud. and i dont have my exhaust pipe exiting all the way out the back, it ends just about half way at my bed. as for inside the cab... i have a crew cab so it's not too loud but you can still feel/hear it pretty well. next time i throw it on the lift i will take a pic and post it

 

Shit...I have mine dumped b4 the axle

:shrug:

i have the manifold cat delete and a carsound high flow cat inplace of the downstream cat, with a 24"x8" resonator stock muffler, it sounds fine to me a little louder than stock.

what brand is your resonator?

no luck w/ the video clip huh thestoprule?

 

nah bro i got off work late and i start school at 8 didnt get home til 1030. i will try to get my camera tonight before school. but i will have it up by the end of the week

 

ive got the manifold cat delete and a mangnaflow dual on mine. was considering a hi-flow cat inplace of the muffler but i think it might end up being wayy too loud. its pretty loud as is...

 

Shit I got a magnaflow w/ stock pipes, and its dumped b4 the axle. Its not loud at all! I mean its noticably louder than stock but its not loud at all. Gutting the mani-cat will make it a lot louder?

 

yeh you must have a diff muffler. ive got the dual out kit they sell for the i5. mine had a pretty good sound to it b4 the manifold mod but gutting it made a huge diff. its a good difference if you like a deep gurgle after letting off of WOT. lol. its prob your muffler but i would recommend doing the manifold cat delete it will def improve the sound/performance

 

:werd2:

 

whats up thestoprule?! any luck this time?

 

took a clip but i dont know how to load it and shit... help anyone???

 

shit you got me there. w/ out the stuff in front of me i cant do shit. im retarded like that. my bad.

 

yeah i thought i could just plug my camera in to the computer and take the clip and post it on here... weekend project now :kiki:

 

take the clip, load it onto photobucket, and post the link photobucket provides.

 

running no cats will not in anyway harm your motor. its for smog purposes only. your truck will run way better without them once you get it properly tuned. oh and my truck has no cats with long tube headers and its stupid loud...but then again i got a 6.0L

 

Stupid loud??? That's it??

To say the least, yeah, I guess... :lol:

 

I need a sound clip here of a 3.5L w/ no cats!

 

aight bro sorry it took soooooo long, work has been a bitch.... :dawg:


the first part is with my windows up. second part is with my front 2 windows down. and the last part is from under the truck...

hope this helps

:thumbup:
*edit... i am running with... K&N Intake and super 40 flowmaster

 

What muffler are you running??

 

super 40 flowmaster

 

Sounds good on video!:thumbup:

I'm running a magnaflow muffler and its very quiet w/ minimal cab drone...Im a little disappointed by it. Hopefully deleting the cats will lively it up a bit.

...and dont worry about it. Thanks for the video, its helped a lot.

 

well i have my exhaust ending right before the rear axel so its just a little past the end of the crew cab.

when i deleted the cats it made it more"raspy"

:shrug:

 

Same here, mine is dumped b4 the axle, behind the cab. When you say "raspy" do you mean honda civic "raspy" or just loud aggressive non honda civic "raspy"? I know I have the video now, but still I have to ask.

I would say "ricey" but that caused a huge off topic discussion on what "ricey" really means last time I said that! :lol:

Anyways, does it get high pitched anywhere in the rpm range or is it consistent?

EDIT:...maybe my magna wont deliever the tone I want...
:shrug:

 

hell if i gut my cat NY state will rip my head off and hand it to me........:mav:

 

I have only been haulted in doing this mod because some one said after the first cat delete it sounds like it has a major exhaust leak.... does the empty can have that exhaust leak sound or does this dood have an exhaust leak?

 

gutting your cat does not make it sound like you have an exhaust leak....

 

you honestly should keep your cats. you should obey the laws of emissions if possible. trust me your gains are very minimal.

 

Ah yes young Jedi, you have learned well....throaty sounds and minimal HP gains are not what to strive for. Obey emissions laws and speed limits are what young Jedi warriors should adhere to :slap:

GUT THOSE CATS!! after hearing that clip I'm definately doing mine now!

Zach - when are we doing this????

 

Emissions ? :gtfo: emissions are for tree huggers and dipsh1ts who believe George Lucas is Jesus reincarnate!

 

Ya but unfortunately people like myself that live out here in Cali have to pass SMOG or you no get registration!!!!

 

....or people in cali....
