Cat or no Cat

[sheevington]

I have a pretty stock f22a1 in my accord, it has cold air, and platinum plugs. I cut the cat off of it and i am running strait pipe on it. Do you think that i should have left the cat on or not. The exhuast is stock size and it has a tuned muffler on it.

yea carsound cats are good and they arent real loud

Well then mine must be deffective or I must have a leak someone, cause after installing my Carsound, my car went from a nice deep tone to a shitty rasp at like 2-3k rpm.

Yep! I have the shitty rasp at about 2-3k too! It has to be the cat, it sounds like shit right?

I have a stright 2.25 pipe, wish I didnt do it cause its loud as fuck, but it floats on the highway. Real good top end also.

no cat5 and throw 2 resonators on it

[Bud]

My old cat got clogged up so I just bought a 13 inch resonator off of ebay for like 10 bucks and it runs like 1000 times better now. It's a little bit louder, but with a stock muffler it pretty much just sounds stock. No increase in power according to my butt dyno.

[uslspct]

I was thinking of buying another resonator and put that in place of the cat.
But it's one of those things you won't know the outcome until after you spend the money.

buy an rsr exmag and dont worry about it... legal ftw

on the dyno gong from test pipe to high flow cat i lost 1 hp and the stinky exhaust and pollution of the test pipe.

I second that! RS*R Exmags rock. I've had mine for two years now, no complains. knock on wood.

[DrLove'sKuDang]

there are a couple other factors, but from my original tune to the most recent... i didnt lose any power going from a hollowed out cat to a highflow. and i gained midrange.

I just hollowed out my cat after melting the internals by spraying nitrous all of last year. I noticed only a tingy sound coming from my exhaust, but it is noticibly quieter since I switched to my dc sport muffler from my old greddy trust.
