Redback exhaust for the VT

[lufkin]

i gutted my cat awhile back, i recommend not doing it, it makes your car stink like ****, first thing i did was get a brand new one, and yeah its illegal

way to revive a year and a half old thread, specially one as common as an exhaust question lol

Stupid question, as it's got insides for a reason!! Get caught with a gutted out cat and it's something like a $10-15,000 fine.

I always wondered if anyone has actually been fined this amount for no catalytic converter, or if it falls into the same catagory as a cop chip.

So guys what would be some consequences of removing the whole EGR setup? do I need to F**k arond with the ecu to disable egr?
Has anyone removed egr before?? Thanks

I got a redback system for my VX and for the price i paid its awesome. No need to go over board and pay more than double for not much more

What should I do, what are my options. you guys think I should find a pipe to weld it on and make it work. would it impact fuel economy if I plumbed it back. what if I put a mini air breather at the end of the egr so it sucks normal air in????

Gutted cats don't make any difference to performance anyway, I had one collapase so I smashed both out untill I could get some new ones (have done now). It sounds **** and doesn't make it perform any better.

I also had a collapsed cat and knocked them both out until i had the funding. I had two hi-flow stainless cats installed for $700 so i have no loss of powere when i upgraded my exhaust to a 2 1/2" dual redback with straight through cats an rear muffler i scored that for $100 2 days old!. Dont worry about the brand, if it states that its a sport exhaust then no matter what the brand its made of good stuff. It just depends on what you want, stainless, mild, 2 1/2" or 3

All done today, thanks guys although U didnt help sh*t. I welded a pipe onto the extractor and brough the egr back into action!!!
