Removing Cat on V6

[defa]

i reckon cars sound so crap with a gutted cat. my cat is buggered, and sounds horrible. i am putting a good one on when i get a 3 inch exhaust..

i couldnt believe your mechaninc said that, they can get in alot of trouble for doing it but anyways just go out and find yourself a cheap ls1 cat, prob wont do anything to power or anything but they are apparently better then a high flow cat?? thats what i read somewhere anyway

well i got told that ls1 cats are only 2.25 inch diameter on the insides and the stock v6/5lt ones are 2.5 inch?
correct me if im wrong.

Your mechanic is a dick for even mentioning it. You stand to gain absolutely nothing by doing this "mod"

 

[Boonz]

an ls1 cat has more monolith inside it, its cheaper than a highflow but it isnt as good, i tried them for a while and had alot of problems with it scraping on the ground due to the shape of it

a pipe bashed down the middle of a cat gives the deep note back.

my mate had his taken off sounded crazy at first, heaps loud, but then when i sat there and listened to it it begun to sound really ****, really taky and tiny, no deep note really, came out all crackly, i prefer my 2 1/2 inch lukey muffler with stock cat atm...over his ne day, and i wont get a defect of 10k fine

 

[V85000i]

about this 10k fine, how can they issue it when you could go out and buy a car with a hollow cat and have no idea it is hollow, then get done for it. plus i have never heard of anyone ever being fined 10g for a hollowed cat, has anyone else? is it a myth law to scare people or is it rarely enforced.

If you want to be a boy in the bubble in 20years time with your own oxygen pump do so, but don't **** it for the rest of us, The exhaust emmisions if every car was 'cat'`less in 2 years we'd have no O-zone layer.

Do what you like, You **** up it's your own fault.

Its a 10,000 maximum fine. First offence is a warning, second offence is a small fine, 3rd offence is the 10,000 fine.
