Illegal mods... Haha.
You might have a lazy $10K for the EPA fine but I know I don't. Also quicker then most 8's, what power and torque are you making?

I hate to sound like a greeny, but the cat is there for a reason. It's bad enough that we all drive cars that emmit more greehouse gasses than all the trees on the surface of the planet are capable of breaking down, there's no reason to go converting your car into an acid rain factory by removing the cat.

Anyway, i've seen in car mags before that hollowed out cats cause a loss in performance (reduce the back pressure too much), and the difference between a stock V8 cat and a 'high performance' cat is only about 1% power.

The V8 cat and V6 cat are the same and in the old days when my car was slow I ran a 14.6 1/4 mile with a open cat, put a proper one on and ran 14.7 and it may have still had a 14.6 in it on a better run. So there's no excuse to not run a working cat on a near stock 5 litre

Coz my 6 is quicker than most 8's...

do you want to throw down the slips for your car to prove to me that your 6 is quicker than my 8??????
if youd like ill give you a chance and run it on gas. heheheheh

people who brag about there car being better than it really is with out any proof to back it up really drive me nuts.

were the people driving the V8's old??? or sensible drivers who dont need to drag off every one at every set of lights???

ok ive had my 2 cents. back too the exaust

i will agree that twin cats will make a difference in noise, there also good for a better flow
