What is your opinion on gutting out your catalic converters? And how do you do this? I got a magnaflow x with cats and its too quiet. I sounds good untill the exaust hits the cats?

I wouldnt do it. The smell sucks and it can get very irritating. I dont think the noise is going to be worth it. Also you might not know how loud your car actually is. I have almost no interior noise with my mags. However, outside the car its very loud. Have a buddy drive your car and stand on it a couple of times. You might like what you hear.

Don't gut them. Just buy a used O/R pipe and sell your shit.

I have a Bassani catted H pipe. It's almost brand new. I would be willing to trade. The car will definitely pick up a little more tone with an H pipe. PM me if you're interested.

Get an aftermarket pipe w/o cats and keep the stocker for smog inspections. Its also nice to have when you sell the car.

Well, i gutted out the cats on my magnaflow x pipe and like it a lot better. It sounds a lot deeper and you can hear the cam a lot more at idle. I noticed little less power down low but higher rpms it pulled a lot better. The only thing that i didnt like about it was how you can slightly hear the exaust bounce around in the cat at very low rpms.

i have an off road h pipe with 2 chamber flows and it screams when i stand on it. dont gut your cats, as you may need them. keep your old shit. you can buy an off road h used for like 100$ tha one with cats is like 350 some $. so just keep your old shit trust me.i had my cats on with the flows and it was quiet. by the way center dump turn downs are way to loud with that set up that i have.

I have a 2.5 inch Mac H pipe, that I gutted the cats on hoping for the same sound as an O/R h. I was disappointed, It doesn't even sound near as good as a straight through O/R pipe.
